Answer:

Speed of plane in still air: 490  mile/hour

speed of wind: 70  mile/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

still speed = x        wind speed = w

with wind: speed = still + wind

(x+w) * 3 = 1680     ...a

against wind: speed = still - wind

(x-w) * 4 = 1680    ...b

b-a ... 4x-4w-3x-3w = 0

x-7w = 0

x = 7w

substitution: (7w+w)*3 = 1680      8w = 560       wind speed (w) = 70

still speed (x) = 7w = 490 mile/hour

You estimate that a baby pig weighs 21 lbs but it weighs 28 lbs what is the percent of error
lbvjy [14]
Your estimate of the baby pig's weight is 2 pounds. However the actual weight of it is only 16 pounds.
Let's solve for the percentage error of this.
=> 20 - 16 = 4 pounds
=> 4 / 16 = 0.25
=> 0.25 * 100% = 25%
Thus, you added 25% of the baby pig's weight

Seven less than twice a<br> number is negative five.<br> What is the number?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

n = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number by n.  Then "seven less than twice a number is -5 becomes 2n - 7 = -5

Next we must solve for n.  Adding 7 to both sides yields 2n = 2, so that

A regular polygon has an interior angle of approximately 158.8°.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

  • 17 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Property of regular polygons:</u>

  • Sum of Interior Angles = (n−2) × 180°, where n is number of sides

<u>In our case we have:</u>

  • 158.8×n = (n - 2)×180
  • 180n - 158.8n = 360
  • 21.2n = 360
  • n = 360/21.2
  • n = 17
