Answer:400 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = speed at which the plane travelled west

Let s = speed at which the plane travelled south

Distance moved in 5 hrs heading west = 5*w = 5w

Distance moved in 4 hrs heading south = 4*s = 4s

Total distance, 3444= 5w + 4s

w = s + 39( 39 miles/hr faster)

5(s+39) + 4s = 3444

5s + 195 + 4s = 3444

9s = 3249

s = 361 miles per hour

w = s + 39 = 361 +39

= 400 miles per hour

Solve for the indicated variable. 5y + 4x = 6 for x <br> solve for x<br> x=
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

x = 3/2 - 5y/4

Step-by-step explanation:

5y + 4x = 6

-5y             -5y

4x = 6-5y

/4     /4 /4

x = 6/4 - 5y/4

x = 3/2 - 5y/4

Move all terms that don't contain  x  to the right side and solve.

Steven earns extra money babysitting he charges $33 for 4 hours and $57.75 for 7 hours entering an equation to represent the rel
sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>y = 8.25x</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

Some events can be modeled as linear functions. If a situation comes where a linear model is suitable, then we need two sample points to make the model and predict unknown behaviors.

The linear function can be expressed in the slope-intercept format:

y=mx+b

The equation of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found as follows:

\displaystyle y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

Let's use linear modeling to represent Steven's earnings he makes babysitting. Call y the money he charges by x hours of work.

We know he charges y1=$33 for x1=4 hours, and y2=$57.75 for x2=7 hours. The ordered pairs are (4,33) and ( 7, 57.75)

Computing the equation of the line we have:

\displaystyle y-33=\frac{57.75-33}{7-4}(x-4)

Operating:

\displaystyle y-33=\frac{24.75}{3}(x-4)

y - 33 = 8.25( x - 4 )

y = 8.25x - 33 + 33

y = 8.25x

There is a proportional relationship.
