write a system of equations for the problem, and then solve the system. if a plane can travel 340 miles per hour with the wind o

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

w = 40 miles per hour

r = 300 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We add w with the wind and subtract w against the wind

r+w = 340 miles per hour

r - w = 260 miles per hour

Add the two equations together to eliminate w

r+w = 340 miles per hour

r - w = 260 miles per hour

----------------------------------------

2r = 600

Divide by 2

r = 300 miles per hour without the wind

Now find w

r+w = 340

300 + w = 340

Subtract 300

w = 340-300

w = 40 miles per hour

Answer:

D(4 units right, 2 up)

Step-by-step explanation:

You must pick a point which does not have an apostrophe. Then you see how which direction is goes (e.g left or right) and then you see the height (up and down) and combining all this the answer would be 4 units right, 2 up

The odds against Carl beating his friend in a round of golf are 9:7. Find the probability that Carl will lose?

grandymaker [24]

The ratio 9:7 gives you following statement:

Carl will win in 9 cases from 9+7=16;
Carl will lose in 7 cases from 16.

Then the probability that Carl will lose is

$Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.$

Answer: $Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.$

In 2000, the population of Massachusetts

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The population reaches 7 million people in the year 2032.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that

$f(x) = 6.3*(1.0032)^{x}$

Using this model, find the year when the population reaches 7 million people.

This is x years after 2000, in which x is found when f(x) = 7. So

$f(x) = 6.3*(1.0032)^{x}$

$7 = 6.3*(1.0032)^{x}$

$(1.0032)^{x} = \frac{7}{6.3}$

$(1.0032)^{x} = 1.11$

We have to following logarithm rule

$\log{a^{x}} = x\log{a}$

So we apply log to both sides of the equality

$\log{(1.0032)^{x}} = \log{1.11}$

$x\log{1.0032} = \log{1.11}$

$x = \frac{\log{1.11}}{\log{1.0032}}$

$x = 32.66$

2000 + 32.66 = 2032

The population reaches 7 million people in the year 2032.
