Answer:

2x + 8y = 60= 30

5x + 4y = –10= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2x + -8y = 60

Solving

2x + -8y = 60

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8y' to each side of the equation.

2x + -8y + 8y = 60 + 8y

Combine like terms: -8y + 8y = 0

2x + 0 = 60 + 8y

2x = 60 + 8y

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 30 + 4y

Simplifying

x = 30 + 4y

A light private plane can fly 120 mph in still air. Flying against the wind, the plane can fly 320 miles in the same time it req
Debora [2.8K]

Alright, lets get started.

A light private plane can fly 120 mph in still air.

Suppose the speed of wind = x mph

Against the wind, speed of plane will be = 120-x

With the wind, speed of plane will be = 120+x

Flying against the wind, the plane can fly 320 miles, so time taken will be

t = \frac{320}{120-x}

With the wind, the plane can fly 640 miles, so time taken will be

t = \frac{640}{120+x}

Both times are given same, so

\frac{320}{120-x}= \frac{640}{120+x}

Cross multiplying

320(120+x) = 640(120-x)

Dividing from 320

120+x = 2(120-x)

120+x = 240-2x

3x = 120

x = 40 mph

So, the speed of the wind is 40 mph.  :   Answer

Hope it will help :)

Sarah peeled 84 oranges in 7 hours. At that rate, how many oranges would she peel in 15 minutes?​
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Answer:

Sarah would peel 3 oranges in 15 minutes

Explanation:

I’m not sure if I did it right but i multiplied 7 by 60 (hours by minutes in an hour) and got 420. Then I divided it by 15 and got 28. Finally, I divided 84 by 28 and I got 3. I don’t if I am late or right for this question though.
