Answer:

The speed of Mr Solberg's scooter when there is no wind is 35 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The time Mr. Solberg rides his scooter and cover 3 miles against the wind = The time Mr. Solberg rides his scooter and cover 4 miles with the wind

The speed of the wind = 5 miles per hour

Let v, represent the speed of Mr Solberg's scooter when there is no wind, we have;

Time = Distance/Speed

Mr Solberg's speed against the wind = v - 5

Mr Solberg's speed with the wind = v + 5

The distance covered at a given time, while riding against the wind = 3 miles

The distance covered at the same time, while riding with the wind = 4 miles

The time in both instances are therefore 3/(v - 5) = 4/(v + 5)

From which we have;

3 × (v + 5) = 4 × (v - 5)

3·v + 15 = 4·v - 20

20 + 15 = 4·v - 3·v

4·v - 3·v = 20 + 15

v = 35

The speed of Mr Solberg's scooter when there is no wind = v = 35 miles per hour.

What is the answer to this inequality -X+5<-1/3+17=?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Add the numbers: 3+17 = 20

-x + 5 < -1/20

Apply the fraction rule: -a/b = - a/b

-x + 5 < - 1/20

Subtract 5 from both sides

-x + 5 - 5 < 1/20 - 5

Simplify

-x< - 101/20

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)

(-x) (-1) > (-101/20) (-1)

x> 101/20 is the final answer
