The right answer is -2/3
please see the attached picture for full solution
Hope it helps..
Good luck on your assignment..
A way to add fractions that always works is to multiply each numerator by the denominator of the other, then express the sum of products over the product of the denominators.
Here, you have
The sum is -1 1/12
Answer: The answer is no solution
Step-by-step explanation: if we try to get x to one side we subtract 2x from 2x on both sides and get 4 < 3 which is not true.
Answer:
x = 387
Step-by-step explanation:
The wind acts in the opposite direction to the plane when the time is longer.
The wind acts in the same direction as the plane when the time is shorter.
Equation
d = r*t
Givens
- d = 1720
- x = plane's speed
- y = wind speed
- t1 = 5 hours
- t2 = 4 hours.
Substitution
- d = (x + y) * t
- 1720 = (x + y) * 4
- 1720 = (x - y) * 5
Since the two distances are the same, you can equate the right hand sides.
- (x + y) * 4 = (x - y)*5 Remove the brackets.
- 4x + 4y = 5x - 5y Add 5y to both sides
- 4x + 4y + 5y = 5x - 5y + 5y Combine all the terms.
- 4x + 9y = 5x Subtract 4x from both sides
- 9y + 4x - 4x = 5x - 4x Combine
- 9y = x
Now use one of the given equations with the distance
- 1720 = (x + y)*4 Substitute 9y for x
- 1720 = (9y + y) * 4 Combine
- 1720 = 10y * 4 Multiply the right
- 1720 = 40y Divide by 40
- 1720/40 = 40y/40 Do the division
- 43 = y y = wind speek
- 9y = x x = 9*y
- 9*43 = x
- x = 387 miles per hour.
