X= my age
500-3x=230
500-3x-230=230-230
270-3x=0
270-3x+3x=0+3x
270=3x
270/3=3x/3
x=90
you are 90 years old

At 8:00 am, here's what we know about two airplanes: Airplane #1 has an elevation of 80870 ft and is decreasing at the rate of 4

wel

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

8 am

airplane #1: x = 80870 ft, v = -450 ft/ min

airplane #2: x = 5000 ft, v = 900ft/min

We must note that the airplanes are moving at a constant speed. The equation for the airplanes is given by:

$\begin{gathered} E=x_1+vt----1 \\ E=x_2+vt----2 \\ where\colon E=elevation,ft;x=InitialElevation,ft; \\ v=velocity,ft\text{/}min;t=time,min \\ x_1=80,870ft,v=-450ft\text{/}min \\ E=80870-450t----1 \\ x_2=5,000ft,v=900ft\text{/}min \\ E=5000+900t----2 \end{gathered}$

We equate equations 1 & 2 to get the time both airlanes will be at the same elevation. We have:

$\begin{gathered} 5000+900t=80870-450t \\ \text{Add 450t to both sides, we have:} \\ 900t+450t+5000=80870-450t+450t \\ 1350t+5000=80870 \\ \text{Subtract 5000 from both sides, we have:} \\ 1350t+5000-5000=80870-5000 \\ 1350t=75870 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 1350, we have:} \\ \frac{1350t}{1350}=\frac{75870}{1350} \\ t=56.2min \\ \\ \text{After }56.2\text{ minutes, both airplanes will be at the same elevation} \end{gathered}$

The elevation at that time (when the elevations of the two airplanes are the same) is given by substituting the value of time into equations 1 & 2. We have:

$\begin{gathered} E_1=80870-450t \\ E_1=80870-450(56.2) \\ E_1=80870-25290 \\ E_1=55580ft \\ \\ E_2=5000+900t \\ E_2=5000+900(56.2) \\ E_2=5000+50580 \\ E_2=55580ft \\ \\ \therefore E_1\equiv E_2=55580ft \end{gathered}$

Given: X = r + 2, Y = 2r - 9, and Z = r 2 + 17r + 30. Simplify [X · Y - Z] ÷ X.

ale4655 [162]

( (r+2) * (2r-9)-(r^2+17r+30) )/(r+2)

none of the parenthetical operations or power operations can be simplified further, so multiplication and division first, left to right:

(2r(r+2) -9(r+2) - r^2 + 17r +30)/(r+2)

(2r^2 + 2r -9r+18 -r^2 +17r +30 )/(r+2)

(r^2 +10r +48)/(r+2)

Stanley ran a 5 kilometer race in 30 minutes. what was his speed in kilometers per hour? round to the nearest tenth

lesantik [10]

If he runs 5 kilometers in 30 minutes, at that rate he would run 10 kilometers in an hour.
so 10 kilometers per hour is his speed
