\bf \begin{cases}
r=\textit{rate of the plane}\\
w=\textit{rate of the wind}\\
\end{cases}
\\\\

\begin{array}{ccccllll}
&distance&rate&time(hrs)\\
&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
\textit{with wind}&630&r+w&1\frac{1}{2}\\
\textit{against wind}&1120&r-w&4
\end{array}


\bf thus  \begin{cases}
630=(r+w)1\frac{1}{2}\to 630=(r+w)\frac{3}{2}
\\\\
1120=(r-w)4\\
--------------\\
630=(r+w)\frac{3}{2}\implies 630\cdot \frac{2}{3}=r+w\\
420=r+w\implies \boxed{420-w}=r\\
--------------\\
thus\\
--------------\\
1120=(r-w)4\implies 1120=4r-4w
\\\\
1120=4(\boxed{420-w})-4w
\end{cases}


solve for "w", to find the wind's speed rate,

so hmmm what's the plane's rate?  well 420 - w = r  :)

lora16 [44]

Answer:

f(3) = - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(3) , substitute x = 3 into f(x) , that is

f(3) = - 4(3 + 1) - 2 = - 4(4) - 2 = - 16 - 2 = - 18

Solve for x and y. 3x+8y=20. 5x+3y=23
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

x=4 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1) 3x+8y=20  

Equation 2) 5x+3y=23

Equation 1) 5(3x+8y=20 )  

Equation 2) 3(5x+3y=23)

15x+40y=100

15x+9y=69

(Take away 40y from 9y and 100 from 69)

31y = 31

y=1

Substitute y=1 into equation 1)

3x+8=20

(Take away 8 from both sides)

3x=12

(Divide by 3)

x=4
