Answer:

3.25 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

First subtract the pounds of soil 2.2*3=6.6 so that takes away 6.6

22.85-6.6 =16.25

now divide 16.25 by 5

you get 3.25 so each bag was 3.25 pounds

and you multiply/add just to check

A plane flew 360km in 3 hrs when flying with the wind.With no change in the wind,the return trip took 4 hrs.Find the speed of th
morpeh [17]
Speed of the plane: 250 mph
Speed of the wind: 50 mph
Explanation:
Let p = the speed of the plane
and w = the speed of the wind
It takes the plane 3 hours to go 600 miles when against the headwind and 2 hours to go 600 miles with the headwind. So we set up a system of equations.
600
m
i
3
h
r
=
p
−
w
600
m
i
2
h
r
=
p
+
w
Solving for the left sides we get:
200mph = p - w
300mph = p + w
Now solve for one variable in either equation. I'll solve for x in the first equation:
200mph = p - w
Add w to both sides:
p = 200mph + w
Now we can substitute the x that we found in the first equation into the second equation so we can solve for w:
300mph = (200mph + w) + w
Combine like terms:
300mph = 200mph + 2w
Subtract 200mph on both sides:
100mph = 2w
Divide by 2:
50mph = w
So the speed of the wind is 50mph.
Now plug the value we just found back in to either equation to find the speed of the plane, I'll plug it into the first equation:
200mph = p - 50mph
Add 50mph on both sides:
250mph = p
So the speed of the plane in still air is 250mph.

Which graph represents the solution set of the system of inequalities?
vivado [14]
Solve first for the solution of the inequalities. This can be done by replacing first the inequalities sign with the equal sign. 

x + y = 1
2y = x - 4

The values of x and y from the system of linear equation are 2 and -1. This means that the intersection of the lines should be at point (2, -1). 

Substitute 3 to x and determine the value of y from the second inequality.
 2y ≥ x - 4

Substituting,
  2y ≥ 3 - 4, y ≥ -1/2

Hence, the solution to this item should be the fourth one.

PLEASE HELP!!! PLATO ALGEBRA 2
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

(gof) (4) = 9

Hence, option A is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-x³

g(x)=|1/8x -1|

(gof) (4) = g{f(4)}

First wee need to determine f(4)

f(4)=-(4)³

    = -64

so

  (gof) (4) = g{f(4)} = g(-64)

                             =  \left|\frac{1}{8}\left(-64\right)-1\right|

                             =\left|-\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:64-1\right|

                             =\left|-8-1\right|

                             =\left|-9\right|

\mathrm{Apply\:absolute\:rule}:\quad \left|-a\right|=a

                             =9        

Thus,

(gof) (4) = 9

Hence, option A is true.
