Answer:

  -88 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the relation ...

  time = distance/speed

to compare the times in the two directions.

  \dfrac{140}{200+w}=\dfrac{360}{200-w}\\\\140(200-w)=360(200+w)\\\\200(140-360)=w(360+140)\\\\w=\dfrac{200(-220)}{500}=-88 \quad\text{miles per hour}

The wind speed is -88 miles per hour.

_____

The problem statement tells us the travel is slower <em>with</em> the wind than <em>against</em> the wind. Hence "with the wind" must be subtracting from the net speed. That is, the wind speed is negative.

A jewelry store is featuring a diamond in the shape of a square pyramid. The side length of
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

128√5/3 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not told what to find, we can as well look for the volume of the pyramid

Volume of a square pyramid: V = (1/3)a²h

a is the side length of the square

h is the height of the pyramid

Given

a = 8mm

l² = (a/2)² + h²

l² = (a/2)² + h²

6² = (8/2)² + h²

h² = 6² - 4²

h² = 36 - 16

h² = 20

h = √20

Volume of a square pyramid =  (1/3)*8²*√20

Volume of a square pyramid = 1/3 * 64 * 2√5

Volume of a square pyramid = 128√5/3 mm³

What is the correct simplified version of the expression 32x + 8 - 34x?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

  -2x +8

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms involving x are "like" terms, so their coefficients are added when the terms are combined.

  = 32x -34x +8

  = (32 -34)x +8 . . . . . x is factored out according to the distributive property

  = -2x +8

Find x and y ! <br><br> pls help giving 50 points !!
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

y = 20°

x = 35°

Explanation:

Equation's:

   1) 2y + x + 105° = 180°

   2) 3x + x + 2y = 180°

Make y subject in equation 2

3x + x + 2y = 180

4x + 2y = 180

2y = 180 - 4x

y = 90 - 2x

Insert this into equation 1

2(90 - 2x) + x + 105° = 180°

180 - 4x + x + 105 = 180

-3x = -105

x = 35°

Find value of y

y = 90 - 2x

y = 90 - 2(35)

y = 20°
