let the speed of plane in still air be x and that wind be y
therefore:
x+y=490
x-y=390
next we solve for the values of x and y, first we add the above equations. This will give us:
2x=880
x=880/2
x=440 miles per hour.
substituting the value of x in one of the equations and solving for y we get:
440+y=490
y=490-440
y=50 miles per hour
Hello, the correct answer would be B. Because if she had 250 then used 44 you would subtract 44 from 250 to find x
Hope this helps :)
Let’s divide 48 by 16 to see how many cents per inch of wire. 48/16=3 so it costs 3 cents per inch of wire. now all we have to do is multiply 47 by 3, and you will get 141 cents, or $1.41.
