Speed of the plane: 250 mph
Speed of the wind: 50 mph
Explanation:
Let p = the speed of the plane
and w = the speed of the wind
It takes the plane 3 hours to go 600 miles when against the headwind and 2 hours to go 600 miles with the headwind. So we set up a system of equations.

600
m

p
+
w
Solving for the left sides we get:
200mph = p - w
300mph = p + w
Now solve for one variable in either equation. I'll solve for x in the first equation:
200mph = p - w
Add w to both sides:
p = 200mph + w
Now we can substitute the x that we found in the first equation into the second equation so we can solve for w:
300mph = (200mph + w) + w
Combine like terms:
300mph = 200mph + 2w
Subtract 200mph on both sides:
100mph = 2w
Divide by 2:
50mph = w
So the speed of the wind is 50mph.
Now plug the value we just found back in to either equation to find the speed of the plane, I'll plug it into the first equation:
200mph = p - 50mph
Add 50mph on both sides:
250mph = p
So the speed of the plane in still air is 250mph.
Answer:
10 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the total number of hours
Amazing design total charge = 45x+250
super structures total charge = 60x+100
both companies charge the same amount when both equation equals
45x+250=60x+100
60x-45x=250-100
15x=150
x=10
therefore at 10 hours both companies will charge the same amount

Answer:
There is a vertical asymptote for the rational function at x = −4. Set the denominator equal to 0 and solve for x.
2x + 8 = 0 → x = −4
