Line a and b are perpendicular
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
5x -11 (+11) = 34 (+11)
5x = 45
5x ÷ 5 = 45 ÷ 5
x = 9
Answer:
Speed of plane in still air = 135 km/h
Speed of wind = 23 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Speed of plane with the wind = 158km/h
Speed of plane against the wind = 112km/h
Let,
x be the speed of plane
y be the speed of wind
According to given statement;
x+y = 158 Eqn 1
x-y = 112 Eqn 2
Adding Eqn 1 and 2

Putting x = 135 in Eqn 1
135+y = 158
y = 158-135
y = 23
Hence,
Speed of plane in still air = 135 km/h
Speed of wind = 23 km/h
17 + 3y = 7x
3y = 7x - 17
y = 7/3x - 17/3
= 7/3
