Answer:

Speed of plane in still air = 135 km/h

Speed of wind = 23 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Speed of plane with the wind = 158km/h

Speed of plane against the wind = 112km/h

Let,

x be the speed of plane

y be the speed of wind

According to given statement;

x+y = 158     Eqn 1

x-y = 112       Eqn 2

Adding Eqn 1 and 2

x+y+x-y=158+112\\2x = 170\\\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{270}{2}\\x=135

Putting x = 135 in Eqn 1

135+y = 158

y = 158-135

y = 23

Hence,

Speed of plane in still air = 135 km/h

Speed of wind = 23 km/h

(у-4) (3x+5y-2) How do I multiply the following expression?<br>​
muminat

Answer:

3xy + 5y^{2}  - 12x - 22y + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You will use the FOIL method, which is very similar to the distributive property.

In order to do multiply correctly, multiply the y by 3x, 5y, and -2. You should get:

3xy + 5y^{2}  - 2y

Then multiply the -4 by 3x, 5y, and -2 where you should get:

- 12x - 20y + 8

By using the foil method, you got rid of the parentheses. Now you can simply combine like terms and get your final answer:

3xy + 5y^{2} - 12x - 22y + 8

I hope this helps you!

Elibri has a spinner like the one that follow, where 3/5 of the spinner is red, 1/5 is blue and 1/5 is yellow.
slamgirl [31]

The expected value is the sum of values multiplied by their probabilities.

... 15×(1/5+1/5) + 5×(3/5) = 6+3 = 9

The expected value of a single spin is 9 points.

Please Help!!!!!! So i know how to reflect over line y=-x but how would i do it over line y=-x+6. An example would be helpful an
Westkost [7]
To reflect in the line y = -x + 6, we translate everything down 6 first. This will make it seem like we are reflecting in the line y = -x
                                 (x,y) → (x, y-6)
Then, to reflect in the line y = -x, we switch the x- and y-coordinates and then make them negative
                                 (x,y) → (-(y-6), -x)     
Then we move everything back up again
                                 (x,y) → (-(y-6), -x + 6)          
I will present to you an example. Reflect the point (-4, 8) in the line y = -x + 6.
                                 (-4,8) → (-(8-6), -(-4) + 6) → (-2, 10)
You should graph this out to confirm with the reflection line.

D-I are the measurements of the lengths of the sides of triangles. Identify the types of
melomori [17]

Answer:

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

d. Scalene

e. Isosceles

f. Isosceles

g. Equilateral

h. Scalene

i. Equilateral

j. Right

l. Acute

m. Obtuse - doesn't add to 180 not a triangle

n. Acute - doesn't add to 180 not a triangle

o. Obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees. There are two ways we classify triangle by side lengths and angle measures.

Side lengths: Compare the side lengths and see if any are equal to determine the type.

  • Scalene: 3 different lengths
  • Isosceles: 2 equal lengths and 1 different
  • Equilateral : 3 equal sides

Angle Measures: Compare the angles measures to 90 degrees.

  • Right: If one angle is equal to 90
  • Acute: All angles are less than 90 degrees
  • Obtuse: One angle is greater than 90 degrees
