X - y = 2400/6 = 400 where x = speed of plane and y = speed of wind.
x + y = 2400/5 = 480 - flying with the wind
adding the 2 equations
2x = 880
x = 440
Speed of the plane with no wind = 440 mph
-2in = the equals sign has a slash through it 0


Remember: PEMDAS - Parentheses, exponents, multiply/divide, add/subtract
Distribute: 9(1+x) = 9+9x
19 - 5x = 9 + 9x
Add 5x to both sides of the equation and subtract 9 from both sides.
19 - 5x + (5x) = 9 + 9x + (5x)
19 - (9) = 9 - (9) + 14x
10 = 14x
Divide both sides by 14 to get the variable on its own.
10/14 = 14x/14
10/14=x
5/7 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
taking that blank as x
5/2 -x = 1/3
the x will go to the right hand side of the equation which then would make it positive ( making x the subject) and 1/3 will come to the left hand side of the equation becoming -1/3
so the equation will become 5/2-1/3=x
solving the fraction then gives 13/6 or 2.17 as the value of x
