Let a = speed of the plane A, and b = speed of plane B.
(Assume that the net effect of the wind is negligible.)
From the first sentence, the distance between A and B after each travels for 1 hour is a + b miles. From the second sentence, after 45 minutes, or 0.75 hour, the distance between A and B is 200 miles. Plane a has traveled 0.75a, while plane B has traveled 0.75b.
Hence a + b = 0.75a + 0.75b +200
==> 0.25(a + b) = 200.
==> a + b = 800.
Therefore planes A and B are 800 miles apart now.

Answer:

<u>800 miles apart</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

0.75a+0.75b=200

0.25(a+b)=200

a+b=800 miles apart

Which of the following statements about variables is false? a. Mathematical operations can be performed on a variable. b. The va
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

  b. The variable will always be the letter x (false)

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables can be any letter or symbol. The letter x is often used as a variable, but that is not the only choice. Many formulas, for example, make use of variables that have letters reminding you what they stand for.

For example, the formula ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

uses the variables A, b1, b2, and h to represent area, base-1, base-2, and height, respectively. The letter x is not used at all.

Point M is located at (4, 6) on a coordinate grid. Point M is translated 8 units to the left and 9 units down to create point M.
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

You can look at it like a right triangle being made with the vertical part being 9 and the horizontal part being 8, then you want to find the diagonal part. So that's the Pythagorean theorem


\sqrt{8^2+9^2}=12.042
