Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 x + 1 = -14

Subtract 1 from both sides:

3 x + (1 - 1) = -14 - 1

1 - 1 = 0:

3 x = -14 - 1

-14 - 1 = -15:

3 x = -15

Divide both sides of 3 x = -15 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-15)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-15)/3

The gcd of -15 and 3 is 3, so (-15)/3 = (3 (-5))/(3×1) = 3/3×-5 = -5:

An aircraft flew 5 hours with the wind. The return trip took 6 hours against the wind. If the speed of the plane in still air is
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Speed of wind = 23.63 miles per hour

Plane speed in still air = 260 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken with wind = 5 hour

Time taken against wind = 6 hour

Assume;

Speed of wind = s

So,

Speed of Plane with wind = (260 + s) miles per hour

Speed of Plane against wind = (260 - s) miles per hour

Distance = speed x time

So,

(260 + s)5 = (260 - s)6

1,300 + 5s = 1,560 - 6s

11s = 260

s = 23.63 miles per hour

Speed of wind = 23.63 miles per hour

Plane speed in still air = 260 miles per hour
