Answer:

30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we can use ratios 6:4 and x:20. We can also write these ratios as fractions 6/4 and x/20 or 3/2 and x/20. Set the two fractions equal to each other and solve for x:

3/2 = x/20

1.5 = x/20

30 = x

A plane flies at x miles per hour in still air. Flying with a tailwind, its speed is 485 miles per hour. Against the wind, its a
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:20mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of plane = x mph

Speed of plane with wind = 485 mph

So therefore, speed of wind =

485 - x

Speed of plane against wind = 445 mph

So therefore, speed of wind =

x - 445

So therefore, equating the 2 equations of speed of wind

485 - x = x - 445

Collect like terms

485 + 445 = x + x

930 = 2x

2x = 930

x = 930/2 = 465 mph

Speed of wind = x = 465mph

So we put this value on any of the equations for speed of wind

Speed of wind = x - 445 = 465 - 445

= 20 mph

So therefore, speed of wind = 20mph

The sum of two numbers is negative fifteen, and one number is five less than the other. Using the variables m and n to represent
Likurg_2 [28]

We need to use the variables m and n to represent both numbers.

Their sum must equal -15. Therefore, we can write the next equation:

m + n = -15

If one number is five less than the other, we need to choose one variable and then we can write it in terms of the other variable. Then:

n = m-5

To find the value for each number, we can replace the n equation on the first equation:

m + n = -15

m + (m-5)= -15

Then:

m + m - 5 = -15

2m -5 = -15

Solve the equation for m:

Add both sides 5 units:

2m - 5 +5 = -15+5

2m = -10

Divide both sides by 2:

2m/2 = -10/2

m = -5

Finally, replace the m value on the first equation:

m + n = -15

-5 + n = -15

Then, solve the equation for n:

Add both sides by 5:

-5+5 + n = -15 +5

n = -10

Hence, both numbers are m=-5 and n= -10.

The equations separated by a comma are m + n = -15,n = m-5.

The numbers separated by a comma are -5,-10.
