Answer:

360 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let speed of plane be x

speed of wind be c

Also note D = RT, where

D is distance and R is rate and T is time

<u>For First Leg:</u>

we can write:

(x - c) * 2 = D

2x - 2c = D

<u>For Second Leg:</u>

we can write:

(x+c)*1.5 = D

1.5x + 1.5c = D

We can equate and write:

2x - 2c = 1.5x + 1.5c

0.5x = 3.5c

We know Speed of Wind, c, is 30, so we have:

0.5x = 3.5(30)

0.5x = 105

x = 105/0.5 = 210 [speed of airplane]

We know distance is

D = 2x - 2c

D = 2(210) - 2(30)

D = 420 - 60

D = 360 miles

The distance is 360 miles

Someone help me solve this it's easy i just don't understand simple math
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The equation — E = mc2 — means "energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." It shows that energy (E) and mass (m) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing. If mass is somehow totally converted into energy, it also shows how much energy would reside inside that mass: quite a lot.
