X - y = 2400/6 = 400 where x = speed of plane and y = speed of wind.
x + y = 2400/5 = 480 - flying with the wind
adding the 2 equations
2x = 880
x = 440
Speed of the plane with no wind = 440 mph
They are all eawualateral
There should be 1,400 pages in an order that costs the same for both companies.
Let x be the unknown number of pages.
1st Company = 42 + 0.05x
2nd Company = 0.08x
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08x - 0.05x = 42
0.03x = 42
0.03x / 0.03 = 42 / 0.03
x = 1400 pages
To check
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08 (1400) = 42 + (0.05 * 1400)
112 = 42 + 70
112 = 112
A.
the y intercept is where x=0
x represents the number of months
when the number of months is 0, that is the initial number of games won
that looks to be a little below y=2, so maybe y=1.8?
the y intercept is y≈1.8
it represents the number of games won with 0 months of practice
B.
we can use y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept
we know the y intercept
find the slope
slope=rise/run
the I'm going from x=0 to x=10
the rise is about 18.95 (from 1.8 to 20.75)
the run is 10
so slope would be 18.95/10=1.895
the equation would be y=1.895x+1.8
the points were (0,1.8) and (10,20.75)
