Answer: speed of plane in still air is 180 miles per hour

speed of the wind is 18 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Flying with the wind, the plane went 198 miles per hour. This means if was flying in the same direction with the wind. This is same as the speed in still air because there was no opposition from the wind.

Flying into the same wind the plane only went 162 mph. This means that the plane flew against the wind

Let x = the speed of the plane

Let y = the speed of the wind

when flying with the wind,

x + y = 198 - - - - - - -1

When flying against the wind,

x - y = 162 - - - - - - - -2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1,

y - - y = 198 - 162

2y = 36

y = 36/2 = 18 miles per hour

x = 198 - y = 198 -18

x = 180 miles per hour

Answer:

6 papayas and 11 pineapples

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we need to find an answer of how many papayas and pineapples she bought, and we only spent $48.

So,  papayas are $2.50 each, and Pineapples are $3.00 each and we only bought 17 fruits total.

lets try 8 papayas, and 9 Pineapples.

$2.50 x 8 = $20.00 total on Papayas

$3.00 x 9 = $27.00 total on Pineapples.

That would only be $47 spent total.

Lets try 10 papayas and 7 pineapples.

$2.50 x 10 = $25.00

$3.00 x 7 = $21.00

That would only be a total of $26 spent.

Lets try 6 papayas and 11 pineapples.

$2.50 x 6 = $15.00

$3.00 x 11 = $33.00

This would be a total of $48 spent.

A music website charges x dollars for individual songs and y dollars for an entire album. Person A pays $25.92 to download 6 ind
EleoNora [17]
Amount charged for downloading individual songs = x dollars
Amount charged for downloading an entire song album = y dollars
Person A:
6x + 2y = 25.92
3x + y = 12.96
y = 12.96 - 3x
Person B:
4x + 3y = 33.93
Putting the value of y from the first equation in the second we get
x = 0.99 dollars
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
y = 12.96 - 3x
= 12.96 - 2.97
= 9.99 dollars

The function for the cost of materials to make a muffin is f(x) = Three fourths x + 3, where x is the number of muffins. The fun
larisa [96]

So first let’s put g(f(x)) together by putting f(x) for every x in g(x)

We get g(f(x))=3(3/4x+3)+4 which is the selling price equation

Then you plug in 20 to find the selling price for 20 muffins.

g(f(x))=3(3/4(20)+3)+4

g(f(x))=3(60/4+3)+4

g(f(x))=3(18)+4

g(f(x))=54+4

g(f(x))=58

So the selling price will be $58 for 20 muffins.
