Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can find the slope using the slope equation and two of the points.
Slope equation:
I'm going to use the first two points just so I can avoid the fraction... Substitute the x and y values into the equation.
Simplify:
Now that we have the slope, all we need is the y-intercept. Luckily, it gives it to us in the table. The x value of y-intercepts will always be 0. Looking at the table, we see that the point where x=0 is (0,2). Thus, the y-intercept is 2. Your final equation is
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.

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.

Step-by-step explanation:
not sure but dang what grade u in??
C.
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x = 77, -77
Answer:
50%
Step-by-step explanation:
10 kg of mixed nuts that contain 60% peanuts
60(10)
plus
15 kg of a different brand of mixed nuts. with x% peanuts
x(15)
=
That makes 25 kg with 54% peanuts
54(25)
--------------------------
Equation
60(10) + x(15) = 54(25)
600 + 15x = 1350
Subtract 600 from both sides
15x = 750
Diviede both sides by 15
x = 50
50%
