3x/5.. because when the bracket opens then the -7 and +7 get cancelled..
The distributive property....ur basically multiplying the number outside of the parenthesis by everything in the parenthesis....to get rid of the parenthesis.
9(2 + 5m) = (9 * 2) + (9 * 5m) = 18 + 45m <==
Well there can be two different solutions for this but i will choose the easier one. Obviously one requires a system of equations which obviously will involve a lot of thinking and some good algebra solving in order for them to solve.
So we can just keep adding the distance as we know they are in different directions. 49 + 65 = 114. So 114 * 4.5 = 513 miles. SO after around 4.5 hours they will be 513 miles apart.
X = velocity of plane
y = velocity of wind
x - y = 1680/5 = 336 mph .....(1) [ plane flying against the wind]
&
x + y = 1680/4 = 420 mph....(2) [ plane flying with the wind]
Adding (1) and (2) to eliminate y gives
2x = 756
x = 378 mph is the speed of the plane with no wind.
So to solve you need to set up equations, Using h as the height. So the base is 9 inches more (+9) than 3 times the height (3h) so 3h+9 equals the base. You have the area so you need to plug in the equation for the base and h for height and divide it all by 2. h(3h+9)/2=105. after you solve that and get h by itself you should get h= 7 and the b= 30
