Answer:

x = 600 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the jet stream = 100 mph

It travels 1200 miles in the same amount of time as it takes to fly 1000 miles against the jet stream.

We need to find the airplane's average rate in calm​ air. Let it is equal to x mph.

As time in same in both cases. ATQ,

\dfrac{1200}{x}=\dfrac{1000}{x-100}\\\\\dfrac{12}{x}=\dfrac{10}{x-100}\\\\12x-1200=10x\\\\12x-10x=1200\\\\2x=1200\\\\x=600

So, the airplane's average rate in calm​ air is 600 mph. Hence, this is the required solution.

*Awarding Brainliest to first responder with the correct answer!*<br><br> What is m∠CDJ ?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle ADC and angle CDJ are complementary.  That means that they add up to equal 90 degrees.  Therefore,

4x + 3x - 8 = 90 and

7x = 98 so

x = 14

Sub in a 14 for x in 3x - 8:

3(14) - 8 = 34

Angle CDJ = 34 degrees
