36 * 7  gives you the number of nails in the whole pounds
36 * 2/3 gives you the fraction part

7 * 36 = 252
2/3 * 36 = 24

Total nails = 252 + 24 = 276 nails

At maximum speed, an airplane tracked 1720 miles against the wind in 5 hours. Flying with the wind, the plane can travel the sam
nataly862011 [7]
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

as the plane goes against the wind, the plane is not really flying at "x" mph, but is really going slower, at " x - y ", because the wind is subtracting speed from it.

likewise, when the plane is going with the wind, is not really going at "x" mph, but at " x + y ", is going faster due to the wind, thus

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{against the wind}&1720&x-y&5\\
\textit{with the wind}&1720&x+y&4
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
1720=(x-y)5\implies \frac{1720}{5}=x-y\\\\
344=x-y\implies \boxed{y}=x-344\\
---------------\\
1720=(x+y)4\implies \frac{1720}{4}=x+y\\\\
430=x+y\implies 430=x+\left( \boxed{x-344} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
430=2x-344\implies 774=2x\implies \cfrac{774}{2}=x\implies 387=x

The height of a triangle is 7 cm longer than its base.
katrin [286]
A) Height -7 = base
B) .5 * height * base = 60
Substituting A into B
B) .5 * height * (height -7) = 60
B)  .5*height^2  -3.5*height = 60
B)  .5*height^2 -3.5*height -60 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
Height = 15
Subtracting 7 gives us the base length
Base = 8
**************************************************************
Double-Check
.5 * 15 * 8 = 60
