Answer:
C. x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
48 = 7x + 13
-13 -13
35 = 7x
5 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x+2)^2 + 4x^2 = (3x+4)^2
(x+2)(x+2)+ 4x^2= (3x+4)(3x+4)
x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4 + 4x^2 = 9x^2 + 12x + 12 x + 16
5x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16
-4x^2 - 20x - 12 = 0
now we can use the quadratic formula
(-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
I can't type all this so
.....
x = -0.697224362 or -4.302775638
AB can't be negative so it's the first one
so it's equals to 1.302775638
Answer: Santa's speed in still air is 6 miles per minute
Speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of Santa in still air. It is assumed that in still air. She is flying with the wind. If the speed of the wind is y, then him total speed is x + y
It takes Santa 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind.
Speed = distance / time
It means that
x + y = 35/5 = 7
It takes him 7 minutes to fly 35 miles against the wind. This means that his total speed will be x - y
Speed = distance/time. Therefore,
x - y = 35 /5 = 5 - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 7 - y into equation 1, it becomes
7 - y - y = 5
-2y = 5 - 7 = -2
y = -2/-2 = 1
x = 7 - y = 7 - 1
x = 6
