9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • airplane: 225 mph
  • wind: 45 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed with the wind is (540 mi)/(2 h) = 270 mi/h.

The average speed against the wind is (540 mi)/(3 h) = 180 mi/h.

Let a and w represent the speeds of the airplane and wind, respectively.

  a + w = 270 . . . . speed with the wind

  a - w = 180 . . . . speed against the wind

  2a = 450 . . . . . . sum of the two equations

  a = 225 . . . . . . divide by 2

  w = a -180 = 45

The speed of the airplane is 225 miles per hour; the speed of the wind is 45 miles per hour.

Solve the inequality 16 > -2u
Ksju [112]
To solve this inequality, you need to isolate the value of u. To do this, divide both sides by -2. When you do this, keep in mind that when you divide or multiply both sides by a negative in an inequality, you MUST flip the sign, so your answer would be -8 < u or u > -8.

Under his cell phone plan Jason pays a flat cost of $60.50 per month and four dollars per gigabyte he wants to keep his bill at
Over [174]

Answer:

2 gigabytes of data

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amount Jason keeps per month = $68.90

Cost of flat per month = $60.50

Balance for data = 68.90-60.50

Balance for data = $8.40

If 1Gigabyte = $4

x = $8.40

Cross multiply

4x = 8.40

x = 8.40/2

x = 2.20

Hence Jason can only use 2 gigabytes of data while staying within his budget
