Answer:the speed of the wind is 20 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Plane flies at x miles per hour in still air. This means that the normal speed of the plane is x miles per hour.

Let y represent the speed of the wind.

Flying with a tailwind, it's speed is 485 miles per hour. This means that

the total speed of the plane would be x + y. Therefore

x + y = 485 - - - - - - - - 1

Against the wind, it's air speed is only 445 miles per hour. This means that

the total speed of the plane would be x - y. Therefore

x - y = 445 - - - - - - - - - 2

Adding equation 1 and equation 2, it becomes

2x = 930

x = 930/2 = 465

Substituting x = 465 into equation 1, it becomes

465 + y = 485

y = 485 - 465

y = 20 miles per hour

Jillian walked 0.5 miles before she started jogging at an average pace of 5 miles per hour. The equation d = 0.5 + 5t can be use
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The answer is option 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, the independent variable is time and dependent is distance. As the time changes, the distance will also change it means the distance depends on time.

For example,

d = 0.5 + 5t

Let t = 1,

d = 0.5 + 5(1)

d = 5.5 \: miles

Let t = 5,

d = 0.5 + 5(5)

d = 25.5 \: miles

Therfore, as time increases, distance will also increase.
