Answer:

Speed of wind = 23.63 miles per hour

Plane speed in still air = 260 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken with wind = 5 hour

Time taken against wind = 6 hour

Assume;

Speed of wind = s

So,

Speed of Plane with wind = (260 + s) miles per hour

Speed of Plane against wind = (260 - s) miles per hour

Distance = speed x time

So,

(260 + s)5 = (260 - s)6

1,300 + 5s = 1,560 - 6s

11s = 260

s = 23.63 miles per hour

Speed of wind = 23.63 miles per hour

Plane speed in still air = 260 miles per hour

FInd the solution for 4(x - 5)=2(x - 10) +2x
crimeas [40]
Hello!

You solve this like an algebraic equation

You first distribute the 4 and 2

4x - 20 = 2x - 20 + 2x

Combine like terms

4x - 20 = 4x - 20

subtract 4x from both sides

-20 = 0x - 20

Add 20 to both sides

0 = 0

This means that there are infinite solutions to the equation.

Hope this helps!
