They are equivalent because when you distribute the -0.5 into 3x+5 you get the expression -1.5x+2.5
Answer: is there a question for/to the numbers gjven
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
All you need to do is multiply 2 by 5 and you'll get the answer of 10
