Answer:

  • commercial: 540 mph
  • private: 360 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Time is inversely proportional to speed for the same distance covered. The ratio of commercial to private speeds is ...

  2.4 : 1.6 = 3 : 2

If p is the speed of the private plane, then 3/2p is the speed of the commercial plane and the difference of speeds is ...

  3/2p -p = 180

  1/2p = 180 . . . collect terms

  p = 360 . . . . . . speed of the private plane

  3/2p = 540 . . . . speed of the commercial plane

The commercial jet flies 540 mph; the private plane flies 360 mph.

Solve: 2/3x - 3/4 = 5 + 5/6x
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{69}{2}\to x=-34\dfrac{1}{2}\to x=-34.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{3}{4}=5+\dfrac{5}{6}x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by LCD = 12}\\\\12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^4\cdot\dfrac{2}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}x-12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^3\cdot\dfrac{3}{4\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(12)(5)+12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\dfrac{5}{6\!\!\!\diagup_1}x\\\\(4)(2x)-(3)(3)=60+(2)(5x)\\\\8x-9=60+10x\qquad\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\\8x-9+9=60+9+10x\\\\8x=69+10x\qquad\text{subtract}\ 10x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\8x-10x=69+10x-10x\\\\-2x=69\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\x=-\dfrac{69}{2}

PLS HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST :)
Rus_ich [418]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope intercept form is

y = ax + b

"a" being the slope, "b" being the y- intercept (which is the y-value when x = 0).

the slope here :

in the table x is always increasing by 2.

and y is always investing by 1.

so, the slope is 1/2

the y-intercept :

we need to find the y-value for x = 0.

but we don't have a data point with x = 0 in the table.

so, we have to extend the structure of the table to the left.

x decreases by 2 (making it 0), and y decreases by 1 (making it -1).

therefore, the y- intercept (b) is -1.

and the line equation is

y = (1/2)x - 1

not sure about "the other method".

there is the point-slope form of the equation :

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

again with "a" begin the slope, and (x1, y1) being a point on the line.

if we get the y-intercept in the table, then this point is (0, y1).

and the equation would be

y - y1 = ax

in our case

y + 1 = (1/2)x

and another method ?

sometimes people write

nx + my = c

in our case starting with the original equation

y = (1/2)x - 1

2y = x - 2

-x + 2y = -2

x - 2y = 2
