Answer:

20 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

traveling against the wind was 160mph (400/2.5)

traveling with the wind was 200mph (400/2)

going against the wind is going in the negative direction of the wind speed, and going with the wind is going in a positive direction of the wind speed, therefore the wind speed is |direction1-direction2|/2, which would be |200-160|/2 = |40|/2 = 20mph

(180mph is neutral speed with no wind, with wind affecting this neutral speed ±20mph)

The admision fee at a basket ball game is 350$ for children and 750$ for adults. On a certain night,1500 people enter the basket
Hoochie [10]

<u>Note: The only way to solve this problem is by adjusting the fees to $3.50 and $7.50.</u>

Answer:

<em>1300 children attended the basketball game</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

Let's call:

x = number of children attending the basketball game

y = number of adults attending the basketball game

On a certain night, 1500 people enter the game, thus:

x + y = 1500           [1]

Since each admission fee for children cost $3.50 and $7.50 for adults and it was collected $6050, thus:

3.50x + 7.50y = 6050            [2]

From [1]:

y = 1500 - x

Substituting in [2]:

3.50x + 7.50(1500 - x) = 6050

Operating:

3.50x +  11250 - 7.50 = 6050

-4x = 6050 - 11250

Solving:

x = 1300

1300 children attended the basketball game

Answer:

Length of rectangle = 16 cm

Width of rectangle = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of rectangle = 64 cm²

Find:

Length and width

Computation:

Assume;

Length of rectangle = a

So,

Width of rectangle = a -12

Area of rectangle = l x b

So,

a(a-12) = 64

a² - 12a - 64 = 0

a² - (16-4)a - 64 = 0

a² - 16a+ 4a - 64 = 0

a (a-16) + 4(a-16)= 0

(a-16)(a+4) = 0

a= 16 , a = -4

So,

Length of rectangle = 16 cm

Width of rectangle = a -12

Width of rectangle = 16 -12

Width of rectangle = 4 cm

1+4=5<br> 2+5=12<br> 3+6=21<br> 8+11=?
MariettaO [177]
Oh, I SEE what da pattern is! =D
You see, like in this problem:
2 + 5 = 12
They did 5 times 2 = 10, plus da 2 in da problem = 12.
Same with 3 + 6 = 21, 6 times 3 = 18, 18 plus da 3 given in da problem = 21.
Just like 1 + 4 = 5, 4 times 1 = 4, plus da 1 in da problem = 5.
SO,
with that strategy, 8 +11 = 96, because 8 times 11 = 88, plus da 8 given in da problem = 96.
I hope I helped! =D

Use the distriputive property to rewrite the expression. 11 (4d+6)

Essentially 11(4d + 6) = 11*4d + 6*11
