Answer: the speed of the plane is 130 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the plane. If the car travels 80 mph slower than the plane, then the speed of the car would be (x - 80) mph.

Time = Distance/speed

plane can fly 520 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 200 miles. This means that the time it takes the plane to fly 520 miles is

520/x

Also, the time it takes the car to drive 200 miles is

200/(x - 80)

Since the time is the same, it means that

520/x = 200/(x - 80)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

520(x - 80) = 200 × x

520x - 41600 = 200x

520x - 200x = 41600

320x = 41600

x = 41600/320

x = 130 mph

If the perimeters of each shape are equal, which equation can be used to find the value of x? A triangle with base x + 2, height
Tju [1.3M]

Correct question :

If the perimeters of each shape are equal, which equation can be used to find the value of x? A triangle with base x + 2, height x, and side length x + 4. A rectangle with length of x + 3 and width of one-half x. (x + 4) + x + (x + 2) = one-half x + (x + 3) (x + 2) + x + (x + 4) = 2 (one-half x) + 2 (x + 3) 2 (x) + 2 (x + 2) = 2 (one-half x) + 2 (x + 3) x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 2 (x + 3 and one-half)

Answer: (x + 2) + x + (x + 4) = 2 (one-half x) + 2 (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

A triangle with base x + 2, height x, and side length x + 4 - - - -

b = x + 2 ; a = x ; c = x + 4

Perimeter (P) of a triangle :

P = a + b + c

P =( x + 2) + x + (x + 4) - - - (1)

A rectangle with length of x + 3 and width of one-half x

l = x + 3 ; w = 1/2 x

Perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2(l+w)

P = 2(x+3) + 2(1/2x)

If perimeter of each same are the same ; then;

(1) = (2)

(x + 2) + x + (x + 4) = 2(x+3) + 2(1/2x)
