Answer:

Velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is 210 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jet's velocity against wind is

3040/4 = 760 miles per hour and flying with wind it is

8260/7 = 1180 miles per hour.

Let the velocity of jet in still air be x miles per hour and velocity of wind be y miles per hour.

As such its velocity against wind is x − y and with wind is x + y and therefore

x − y = 760 and x + y = 1180

Adding the two 2 x = 1940 and x = 970 and y = 1180 − 970 = 210

Hence velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is

210 miles per hour.

When the product of 6 and the square of a number is increased by 5 times the number, the result is 4.
il63 [147K]

Let x be the unknown number. Its square is x^2. The product of 6 and the square of the number is 6x^2. Increase this by 5 and you get 6x^2+5.

If this has to equal 4, you have 6x^2+5=4
