A represents the speed of the aircraft.
b represents the speed of the bus.

a=2b-5
114/b=218/a

Substitution method

114/b=218/(2b-5)

(2b-5)*(114/b)= 218

(228b-570)/b = 218

228b-570= 218b

228b-218b=570

10b= 570

b=57

Plug the value of b into one of the original equations.

a=2(57)-5
a=114-5
a=109

Final answer:
Average speed of plane= 109
Average speed of bus= 57

If ABC and EDC are similar, what is the value<br> of x?<br> A
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

BC/DC = EC/AC , substitute values

3x×5/32 - 5x-5/56 ( cross- multiply )

56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides

168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )

8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15

Can there be more than one mean or mode in a math problem??
astraxan [27]

Math. When no number occurs more than once in a data set, there is no mode. If each of two numbers occurs twice, we say the set is bimodal.

Suppose f(x) = x2 and g(x) = 2x − 3. What is the value of g(4) + f(−3)?
MAVERICK [17]

In order to find the value of g(4)+f(-3), we must substitute those values into the functions first.

Substitute -3 into f(x).

f(x)=x²

f(-3)=(-3)²

f(-3)=9

Substitute 4 into g(x).

g(x)=2x-3

g(4)=2(4)-3

Using the rules of PEMDAS, multiply first then subtract.

g(4)=8-3

g(4)=5

Therefore, if f(-3) is 9 and g(4) is 5, we must add the two values together.

5+9=14

<u>The value of g(4)+f(-3) is 14.</u>
