Let, the speed of Airplane = x
Speed of Wind = y

We know, Speed = Distance / Time

So, x-y = 2100 / 6
x-y = 350
& x+y = 2100/4
x+y = 525

Substitute value of x from equation 1 into 2, 
350+y+y = 525
2y = 525-350
y = 175/2
y = 87.5

& x = 350+y = 437.5

In short, Speed of Airplane is 437.5 mph and Wind is 87.5 mph

Hope this helps!

I need help for a project! What would the variables be defined as!?
Mila [183]

2  1/5x * 1 7/10 y  *  4  3/5 x 1 7/10  (* 7 4/50)

Finds the answer  

10 6/50x  *  7  41/50y   (* 7/4/50)  = 56

79 13/100  (* 7 4/50)  = 56

560  = 56 (10x)

x = 5 6/10

7 (y) = 56 (7y)

8 = 56/7  (y)

y = 8

x = 5 6/10

6/10 of 560  = 336  

336/60 = x

336/60 = 5 6/10

we know that

1\ yard=3\ feet

Let

y-------> the number of feet that are in x yards

by proportion

<u>Find the value of y</u>

\frac{3}{1} \frac{feet}{yard}=\frac{y}{x} \frac{feet}{yards} \\ \\y=3x\ feet

therefore

<u>the answer is the option C</u>

3x
