Answer:

22.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given system of equations</u>

5(s-w)=900

4(s+w)=900

<u />

<u>Set equations equal to each other</u>

5(s-w)=4(s+w)

5s-5w=4s+4w

s-5w=4w

s=9w

<u>Solve for w using the substitution s=9w</u>

4(s+w)=900

4(9w+w)=900

4(10w)=900

40w=900

w=22.5

Therefore, the speed of the wind is 22.5 miles per hour

rodikova [14]

Answer: 7bb +19 ll ≥210

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality:

The product of the number of hours he works babysitting (bb) and the amount he earns per hour (7); plus The product of the number of hours he works lifeguarding (ll) and the amount he earns per hour 19; must be higher or equal to the amount he must earn this week (210)

Mathematically speaking:

7 bb + 19 ll ≥210

[50 pts] An even number, n, times the next consecutive number, n + 2, is equal to 168. Find the original number.
ale4655 [162]

<u>We are given:</u>

An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168

<u>Solving for n:</u>

From the given statement, we can say that:

n(n+2) = 168                      [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]

n² + 2n = 168

n² + 2n - 168 = 0               [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]

We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term

n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0

n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0      <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]

(n-12)(n+14) = 0

Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)

Checking the result in both the cases:

(n + 14) = 0/(n-12)                     (n-12) = 0/(n+14)

n + 14 = 0                                 n - 12 = 0

n = -14                                      n = 12

Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
