To solve the problem we will use this equation where,
d will be distance.
x is the speed of the plane without tailwind.
y is the speed of the wind affecting the plane.
Going to Philadelphia the speed of the plane affected by wind will be x-y=220 miles/hr
Coming back with a tailwind, the speed of the plane will be x+y= 280 miles/hr.
since time = distance / speed, t1 =d/220 and t2 = d/280
and since the total time traveled is 6.5hrs
d/220 + d/ 280 = 6.5hrs
d = 800.8 miles x 2 (back and forth trip) the answer is 1601.6 miles
Yes u are right hope this helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Well.. First of all, the question says that we are working with a rectangle..
So, the rectangle has a length and width. I'll call them L and w.
Look at this phrase: " length that is one foot less than twice its width"
it means, in a algebraic language: L = 2w - 1
Let's analysis the next phrase: "it the area of the rectangle is 91 square feet"
So, A = 91 ft²
But you have to remember that the rectangle area is a product of L and w.
L x w = 91
They are the following equations that you could be used to solve the system of equations.
Now, you have a system of equations and I suggest you to solve it using the substituition method.
L = 2w - 1
L x w = 91
C = 2 x pi x r
C = 2 x 3.14 x 3 = 18.84
18.84 x .5 = 9.42
10 + 14 + 7.21 + 9.24 = 44.45in squared
Divide each term by 6 and simplify.
x = −9
