A private jet flies the same distance in 12 hours that a commercial jet flies in 8 hours. If the speed of the commercial jet was

88mph less than 2 times the speed of the private jet, find the speed of each jet.

Answer:

Commercial jet's speed = 2x-162 (plug this in the equation below)

Private jet's speed = x

Equation:

10(x) = 8(2x-162)

10x = 16x - 1296

6x = 1296

x = 216 (Private jet's speed)

Take the first equation and plug x value in;

2x-162

2(216) - 162 = 270 ( Commercial jet's speed)

From the first equation
6x - y = 1
6x - y - 1 = 0
6x - 1 = y

Substituting we get
4x - 3(6x - 1) = -11

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the Bags of oranges be x

Now the cost price is 2500x

Sale price N = 90,000

Loss =20%

As we know that

Cost price= selling price × 100/ 100-percentage loss

= 90,000 ×  100/ 100- 20

= 90,000 ×  100 /80

Cost price= 112,500

Now

The Number of bags of oranges is

= 112,500 ÷ 2500

= 45

Use the graph or table to find the equation that represents the relationship.
faust18 [17]

The equations of the functions are y = 3x - 5 and y = 3.25x + 2

<h3>What are linear equations?</h3>

Linear equations are equations that have constant average rates of change.

Note that the constant average rates of change can also be regarded as the slope or the gradient

<h3>How to write an equation for the tables?</h3>

The given parameters are the datasets represented by the tables

On the table, we have the following points

(x, y) = (2, 1) and (1, -2)

Calculate the slope using

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

So, we have

m = (-2 - 1)/(1- 2)

Evaluate

So, we have

m = 3

The linear equation is then calculated as

y = m(x - x1) + y1

So, we have

y = 3(x - 2) + 1

Evaluate

y = 3x - 5

For the second table, we have

Slope, m = (12 + 1)/(18 - 14)

Evaluate

So, we have

m = 3.25

The linear equation is then calculated as

y = m(x - x1) + y1

So, we have

y = 3.25(x - 0) + 2

Evaluate

y = 3.25x + 2

Hence, the equations of the functions are y = 3x - 5 and y = 3.25x + 2
