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

If x = 10, which lines are parallel? Check all that apply.
natita [175]

Answer:

b||c; c||d; b||d

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting 10 for x, in the angle beside b we have

7(10)-5 = 70-5 = 65

In the angle beside c we have

10(10)+15 = 100+15 = 115

In the angle beside d we have

12(10)-5 = 120-5 = 115

In the angle beside we have

8(10)-25 = 80-25 = 55

The angle beside c has a vertical angle on the other side of c.  This angle would be same-side interior angles with the angle beside b; this is because they are inside the block of lines made by b and c and on the same side of a, the transversal.  These two angles are supplementary; this is because 65+115 = 180.  Since these angles are supplementary, this means that b||c.

The angle beside c and the angle beside d would be alternate interior angles; this is because they are inside the block of lines made by c and d and on opposite sides of the transversal.  These two angles are congruent; this means that c||d.

Since b||c and c||d, by the transitive property, b||d.
