The jet has gained on the small plane at the rate of 10 miles per minute, so is flying 600 miles per hour faster. (There are 60 minutes in an hour.)
Since the jet is flying twice as fast as the smaller plane, the small plane's speed is the same as the difference in speed: 600 mph.
The jet's speed is double that, 1200 mph.
- small plane: 600 mph
- jet: 1200 mph
180 - 70 = 110
110 - 35 = 75
The third angle is 75
Answer:
14x - 8 = 22 + 20x
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "the number" be represented by x
Take each part of the statement and translate into algebraic form
"14 times a number" 14x
"decreased By eight" -8
"is" =
"22 Increased by" 22 +
"20 times The same number" 20x
Put the equation together. Solve for x by isolating.
(
14x - 8 = 22 + 20x
14x - 8 - 20x = 22 + 20x - 20x Subtract 20x from both sides
-6x - 8 = 22
-6x - 8 + 8 = 22 + 8 Add 8 to both sides
-6x = 30
-6x ÷ -6 = 30 ÷ -6 Divide both sides by -6
x = -5
