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

Simplify the following: 7-3[(n^3+8n)/(-n)+9n^2]
Pachacha [2.7K]
If you would like to simplify <span>7 - 3[(n^3 + 8n) / (-n) + 9n^2], you can do this using the following steps:

</span>7 - 3[(n^3 + 8n) / (-n) + 9n^2] = 7 - 3[(-n^2 - 8) + 9n^2] = 7 - 3[-n^2 - 8 + 9n^2] = 7 - 3[ - 8 + 8n^2] = 7 - 3[8<span>n^2 - 8] = 7 - 24n^2 + 24 = - 24n^2 + 31
</span>
The correct result would be <span>- 24n^2 + 31.</span>

One canned juice drink is 20% orange juice, another is 5% orange juice, how many liters of each should be mixed together in orde
gavmur [86]

Answer:

11 L of 20% juice and 4 L of 5% juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x L = amount of 20% juice

y L = amount of 5% juice

<u>20% juice:</u>

Amount = x L

Amount of juice =0.2x L

<u>5% juice:</u>

Amount = y L

Amount of juice =0.05y L

<u>16% juice:</u>

Amount = 15 L

Amount of juice =0.16\cdot 15=2.4 L

We mixed x L of 20% juice with y L of 5% juice to get 15 L of 16% juice, so

x+y=15

and

0.2x+0.05y=2.4

From the first equation:

x=15-y

Substitute it into the second equation:

0.2(15-y)+0.05y=2.4\\ \\20(15-y)+5y=240\\ \\300-20y+5y=240\\ \\-20y+5y=240-300\\ \\-15y=-60\\ \\15y=60\\ \\y=4\ L\\ \\x=15-4=11\ L
