Answer:
The value of x is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find x, we have to put everything in base 6 and continue to simplify. Since we know that 216 is 6^3, we can replace that.
6^x = 1/216
6^x = 1/(6^3)
Now, when there is a power in the denominator, we know we can move it to the numerator by making it negative. We can do that to get the bases to match.
6^x = 1/(6^3)
6^x = 6^-3
Now that they are both put in simple base 6 systems, we can just eliminate the bases and assume that the powers are equal. This lets us know that x = -3.
8.64 - 3.15 = $5.49 if this is what you are asking
X = velocity of plane
y = velocity of wind
x - y = 1680/5 = 336 mph .....(1) [ plane flying against the wind]
&
x + y = 1680/4 = 420 mph....(2) [ plane flying with the wind]
Adding (1) and (2) to eliminate y gives
2x = 756
x = 378 mph is the speed of the plane with no wind.
