Let <em>s</em> be the plane's speed in still air and <em>w</em> the wind speed. Then

<em>s</em> - <em>w</em> = (6060 km)/(6 h) = 1010 km/h

<em>s</em> + <em>w</em> = (12,150 km)/(9 h) = 1350 km/h

Adding these equations together eliminates <em>w</em> and lets you solve for <em>s</em> :

(<em>s</em> - <em>w</em>) + (<em>s</em> + <em>w</em>) = 1010 km/h + 1350 km/h

2<em>s</em> = 2360 km/h

<em>s</em> = 1180 km/h

The standard form:

Ax+By=C

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

b - y-intercept (0, b).

We have the point (0, 43) → b= 43.

Next point (2, 55). Substitute to the slope formula:

m=\dfrac{55-43}{2-0}=\dfrac{12}{2}=6

Therefore we have:

y=6x+43      <em>subtract 6x from both sides</em>

\boxed{-6x+y=43}

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST<br><br>Which equation can be used to find the volume of this solid?<br>​
AURORKA [14]

V=(7*6)/2 *8 the third option

you multiply the height with the base of the triangle and you get the area of the base of the prism so you multiply it with the height of the prism to get the volume

Answer:

Read the sentence below, which appears in the brochure “Nanotechnology: Big Things from a Tiny World.” As you read, look for context clues that could help you define any scientific terms.

Scientists have also developed sensors to measure pesticide levels in the field, allowing farmers to use less while still protecting their plants.

According to the context clues provided by the author, what is a pesticide?

9. Subtract: 5-3 1/3​
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 1 and 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine 3 1/3 as if it’s in parenthesis as (3 + 1/3)

Subtract three from five.

You should get two.

Then you subtract the last 1/3 from that two.

There are three thirds in one digit.

Therefore, two thirds are left over, plus that last whole digit.

You are left with one and one third.
