Dave and Sandy Hartranft are frequent flyers with a particular airline. They often fly from City A to City​ B, a distance of 828

miles. On one particular​ trip, they fly into the​ wind, and the flight takes 2 hours. The return​ trip, with the wind behind​ them, only takes 1 and
1/2 hours. If the wind speed is the same on each​ trip, find the speed of the wind and find the speed of the plane in still air.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the plane in still air = x

and speed of wind = y

Now from city A to B

dIstance = speed  × time

732732 = (x - y) × 2 (1)

From city B to A

Distance = speed × time

732732 = (x + y) × 1.5 (2)

From (1) and (2)

2x - 2y = 1.5x + 1.5y

0.5x = 3.5y

x = 7y

If we plug in (1)

732732 = (7y - y) × 2

732732/12 = 12y/12

y = 61061

Since x = 7y

= 427427 miles/hr

Speed of still air plane is 427427 miles/hr

Speed of wind = 61061miles/hr

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7) 2ab + 4ac = 2*a*b + 2 *2 *a*c

                     = 2a(b + 2c)

\dfrac{2ab^{2}c}{2ab+4ac}=\dfrac{2*a* b^{2}*c}{2a(b+2c)}\\\\\\\text{2a in the denominator and numerator get cancelled}\\\\ = \dfrac{b^{2}c}{b+2c}

8) ac - a²c² = c( a - a²c)

bc - abc     = c(b - ab)

\dfrac{ac - a^{2}c^{2}}{bc-abc^{2}}=\dfrac{c(a-a^{2}c)}{c(b-ab)}\\\\

               =\dfrac{a-a^{2}c}{b-abc}

9) b²+ 4b - 5 = b² + 5b - 1b - 5

                    = b(b + 5) - 1(b + 5)

                    = (b +5)(b - 1)

b² + 8b  + 15 = b² + 5b + 3b + 15

                    = b(b + 5) + 3(b + 5)

                    = (b + 5 )(b + 3)

\dfrac{b^{2}+4b-5}{b^{2}+8b+15}=\dfrac{(b+5)(b-1)}{(b+5)(b+3)}\\\\\\

                     =\dfrac{b-1}{b+3}

telo118 [61]

Answer:

x=$10

y=$12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

let senior tickets be x

and child be y

8x+9y=188----1

also on the second day

x+5y=70-------2

the system of equation is

8x+9y=188-----1

x+5y=70---------2

x=70-5y, put this in 1

8(70-5y)+9y=188

560-40y+9y=188

-31y=-372

divide by -31

y=-372/-31

y=$12

put y= 12 in x+5y=70---------2

x+5(12)=70---------2

x+60=70

x=$10
