Answer:

500km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Speed (km/hr) = Distance / Time

Where S = Speed

D = Distance

T = Time

S = D/T

From the question, the aeroplane covered a distance of 1500 km

S = 1500/ T

ST = 1500

Time taken( T ) = 1500/S ......... Equation 1

We are told from the question that speed was increases by 100km/hr, it covers the same distance in a time which is half an hour less than the previous time

This is expressed mathematically as:

The new speed =S + 100km/hr

The new Time taken = 1500/ S - 1/2....... Equation 2

Also since Time = Distance / Speed

The new Time taken also = 1500/ S + 100 ......... Equation 3

Step 1

We would simplify Equation 2:

Time = 1500/S - 1/2

Find the Lowest common multiple = 2

Time = (2 × 1500 - S )/ 2S

Time = 3000 - S / 2S ......... Equation 4

Step 2

Equate Equation 4 and 3 together since they are both equal to time taken

1500/ S + 100 = 3000 - S / 2S

We cross multiply

2S × 1500 = (S + 100) ( 3000 - S)

3000S = 3000S - S² + 300000 - 100S

3000S - 3000S + S² - 300000 + 100S = 0

S² + 100S - 300000 = 0

Step 3

We solve for S = Speed by using factorisation method.

S² + 100x - 300000 = 0

S² - 500S + 600S - 300000 = 0

(S² - 500S) + (600S - 300000) = 0

S(S - 500) + 600(S - 500) = 0

(S - 500) (S + 600) = 0

S - 500 = 0, S = 500

S + 600 = 0 , S = -600

Our answer cannot be in negative form, hence, the previous speed of the aeroplane = 500km/hr

Answer: U = 600 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an aeroplane covers a distance of 1500km in a certain time t at a certain speed U.

After increasing the speed by 100km/hr, that is, V = U + 100 it covers the same distance in a time which is half an hour less than the previous time. That is t2 = t - 0.5.

From the first statement

Speed = distance/ time

Distance = speed × time

1500 = Ut

Make t the subject of the formula

t = 1500/U ..... (1)

From the second statement

Distance = speed × time

1500 = (U + 100) × ( t - 0.5 )

Open the bracket

1500 = Ut - 0.5U + 100t - 50

Collect the like terms

1550 = Ut - 0.5U + 100t .... (2)

Substitutes equation 1 into 2

1550 = 1500U/U - 0.5U + 100(1500/U)

1550 = 1500 - 0.5U + 150000/U

1550 - 1500 = (150000 - 0.5U^2)/U

Cross multiply

50U = 150000 - 0.5U^2

0.5U^2 + 50U - 150000 = 0

Divide all by 0.5

U^2 + 100U - 300000 = 0

Using completing the square method

U^2 + 100U = 300000

U^2 + 100U + 50^2 = 300000 + 50^2

(U + 50)^2 = 302500

U + 50 = sqrt(302500)

U + 50 = +/-(550)

U = 50 + 550 or 50 - 550

U = 600 or - 500

Since U is of the same direction, it is

positive. Therefore, the previous speed of the aeroplane is 600 m/s

3 equivalent fractions for 9/7
yawa3891 [41]
To find three equivalent fractions of a fraction, simply multiply the fraction by a common factor.

For example, multiple both the numerator and denominator of 9/7 by 2.
This will give you a fraction of 18/14, which is equivalent.

You can do this with any number you like to create three equivalent fractions.

Find a solution to the following system of equations. –5x + y = –5 –4x + 2y = 2
Arte-miy333 [17]
-5x + y = -5.....multiply by -2
-4x + 2y = 2
---------------
10x - 2y = 10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-4x + 2y = 2
-----------------add
6x = 12
x = 12/6
x = 2

-5x + y = -5
-5(2) + y = -5
-10 + y = -5
y = -5 + 10
y = 5

solution is (2,5)

Find the value of X
olchik [2.2K]
<h3>Answer:  112</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The angle adjacent to the 146 degree angle is 180-146 = 34 degrees.

In other words, the angles 34 and 146 combine to 180. These angles are supplementary.

The tickmarks on this triangle tell us it is isosceles. The angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent angles. So the unmarked interior angles (not marked x) are 34 degrees each.

Now use the fact that any triangle has its interior angles always add to 180

x+34+34 = 180

x+68 = 180

x = 180-68

x = 112

Which undefined term is used to define an angle ?
enyata [817]

Point.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>
  • This is one of the classic problems of Euclidean geometry.
  • The angle is determined by three points, we call it A, B, C, with A ≠ C and B ≠ C.  
  • We express an angle with three points and a symbol ∠. The middle point represents constantly vertex. We can, besides, give angle names only with vertices. For example, based on the accompanying image, the angle can be symbolized as ∠BAC, or ∠CAB, or ∠A.  

Types of Angles  

  • The acute angle represents an angle whose measure is greater than 0° and less than 90°.
  • The right angle is an angle that measures 90° precisely.  
  • The obtuse angle represents an angle whose measures greater than 90° and less than 180°.  
  • The straight angle is a line that goes infinitely in both directions and measures 180°. Carefully differentiate from rays that only runs in one direction.

<u>Note:</u>

Undefined terms are the basic figure that is undefined in terms of other figures. The undefined terms (or primitive terms) in geometry are a point, line, and plane.

These key terms cannot be mathematically defined using other known words.

  • A point represents a location and has no dimension (size). It is marked with a capital letter and a dot.
  • A line represent an infinite number of points extending in opposite directions that have only one dimension. It has one dimension. It is a straight path and no thickness.
  • A plane represents a planar surface that contains many points and lines. A plane extends infinitely in all four directions. It is two-dimensional. Three noncollinear points determine a plane, as there is exactly one plane that can go through these points.
