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

Write an equation of a circle whose center is (-5,4) and whose diameter is 12
musickatia [10]

Answer:

(x + 5)² + (y - 4)² = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form id

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Here (h, k) = (- 5, 4) and r = 12 ÷ 2 = 6 , thus

(x - (- 5))² + (y - 4)² = 6², that is

(x + 5)² + (y - 4)² = 36
