Answer:

  • 12.92 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Speed of the wind = 3 mph
  • Speed in calm weather = x
  • Speed with the wind = x + 3
  • Speed against the wind = x - 3

<u>We know that:</u>

  • distance = time*speed or
  • time = distance / speed

<u>We have equal time in both cases so comparing d/s ratios:</u>

  • 30/(x - 3) = 56/(x + 3)

<u>Solve for x:</u>

  • 56(x - 3) = 30(x + 3)
  • 56x - 168 = 30x + 90
  • 56x - 30x = 90 + 168
  • 26x = 258
  • x = 258/26
  • x ≈ 9.92

<u>The speed with the wind is:</u>

  • 9.92 + 3 = 12.92 mph

Which equation in point-slope form contains the point (4, –1) and has slope 3?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

y+1=3(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a slope of 3 and a point (4,-1).

We need to find the equation of the line in point-slope form

Point-slope form is given as y-y1=m(x-x1), where m is the slope, and (x1,y1) is a point

We have all of the needed information to substitute into the formula

First, let's label the values of everything to avoid any confusion

m=3

x1=4

y1=-1

now substitute into the formula *remember, the formula has SUBTRACTION, and we have a NEGATIVE number, so we'll end up subtracting a negative*

y--1=3(x-4)

simplify

y+1=3(x-4)

That's it!

Hope this helps :)

I drove 380 miles using 14 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would I need to drive 418 miles?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

15.4 gallons .

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of gas used  = 380/14 = 27.14 gallons per gallon.

So for each gallon used  you drive 27.14 miles.

So number of gallons used when travelling 418 miles = 418/27.14

= 15.4 gallons .

aniked [119]

This is called the <u>Multiplication property of equality.</u>

The multiplication property of equality states that whatever you multiply on one side, you must multiply the same quantity on the other side of the equation. In this case, variable c is multiplied to both sides of the equation.
