Answer:20mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of plane = x mph

Speed of plane with wind = 485 mph

So therefore, speed of wind =

485 - x

Speed of plane against wind = 445 mph

So therefore, speed of wind =

x - 445

So therefore, equating the 2 equations of speed of wind

485 - x = x - 445

Collect like terms

485 + 445 = x + x

930 = 2x

2x = 930

x = 930/2 = 465 mph

Speed of wind = x = 465mph

So we put this value on any of the equations for speed of wind

Speed of wind = x - 445 = 465 - 445

= 20 mph

So therefore, speed of wind = 20mph

this week is a struggle for me i may have to have a tutor . but here is my problem 2x-3+3x= -28 what is th value of x?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3+3x= -28

combine like terms

5x -3 = -28

add 3 to each side

5x-3+3 = -28+3

5x = -25

divide each side by 5

5x/5 = -25/5

x = -5
