Answer:

T1 = 975 / (205 + V)         flying with wind

T2 = 975 / (205 - V)         flying against wind

T2 = T1 + 2

975 * {1 / (205 - V) - 1 / (205 + V)] = 2

(205 + V + V -205) / (205^2 - V^2) = 2 / 975

V^2 + 975 V - 42025 = 0          rearranging

V = 41.3

Values of flying are  246.3 and 163.7

Check:  

T1 = 975 / 246.3 = 3.96 hrs

T2 = 975 / 163.7 = 5.96 hrs

Solve<br> 7x+2y=16<br> 5x-2y=20<br> x= y= <br><br> (3 marks)
sasho [114]
X=3 and y=-5/2. Here is why, when we do 7x+5x that gives us 12x. -2y+2y=0 and then we have 16 plus 20 which gives us 36. Now we gotta isolate x which right now we have 12x=36. Therefore divide by 12 to get x alone, which 36 divided by 12 is equal to 3. X=3. Plug it back into the equation, 7(3)=21 plus 2y=16. Subtract 21 from both sides 16-21 is equal to -5. Then 2y=-5 divide by 2 on both sides you will have -5/2=y or y=-5/2. Hope this helps!
