Answer: The outbound trip is 18 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the plane.

An aircraft carrier made a trip. Let us assume that this trip was outbound. The trip there took 5 hours.

Distance = speed × time. Therefore

Distance = 5x

The trip back took 6 hours. It averaged 3 mph faster on the trip there then on the return trip. This means that the speed on the trip back is x - 3 mph.

Distance = 6(x-3) = 6x - 18

Since the distance is the same,

5x = 6x - 18

6x - 5x = 18

x = 18

The speed on return or inbound trip would be 18 - 3 = 15 mph

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, 6) and a slope of -2
mina [271]

Answer:

y = -2x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you plug in the values you know into the slop int. form, equation, in which it is y = mx +b. When you plug in the slope value then you will get the equation of y = -2x +b, in which then you have to solve for the b value.

In order to solve for the b value, you then plug in the x and y values of the coordinate that is given so what you would do is this:  6 = -2(5) +b

                                                                                               6 = -10 +b

                                                                                                16 = b

So then you find out b is 16 in which you just plug back into the equation. So finally you write the equation, y = -2x+16.

Aiden calculated the area of Triangle QRS finding half the product of 1.5 and 1.1. What error did Aiden make?
Gnom [1K]
Aiden should have calculated 
area = (1.1 * 5.4) / 2
because triangle area = half the base times the altitude.

8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44
Sphinxa [80]

8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44

mutiply the bracket by -4

(-4)(5) = -20

(-4)(-x)= 4x

8x-20+4x= -44

8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )

12x-20= -44

move -20 to the other side

sign changes from -20 to +20

12x-20+20= -44+20

12x= -44+20

12x= -24

divide both sides by 12

12x/12= -24/12

Answer: x= -2
