Answer:

5.6 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

x + .15(8) = .50(8+x)

x + 1.2 = 4

.50x + 1.2 = 4

.50x = 2.8

x = 2.8/.50

x = 5.6 quarts

Answer:

V = 160mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to start from the formula of speed: V=d/t

We have two travels, with and against the wind, both done in the same time.

Clearing t from the formula, we will have: t=d/V2

450miles/V-35mph (speed of the wind is subtracted)

702miles/V+35mph (speed of the wind is subtracted)

Now, we find V:

450miles/V-35mph = 702miles/V+35

450*V+35 = 702*V-35

450V+15,750 = 702V-24,570

702V-450V = 15,750 + 24,570

252V = 40,320

V = 40,320/252

V = 160mph
