An airplane travels 6903 kilometers against the wind in 9 hours and 8613 kilometers with the wind in the same amount of time. what is the rate of the plane?

The rate of the plane is 862 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

An airplane travels 6903 kilometers against the wind in 9 hours.

Speed = distance / time

Speed of the airplane while travelling against the wind is

6903/9 = 767 miles per hour

The airplane travelled 8613 kilometers with the wind in the same amount of time. This means that the speed while travelling with the wind will be

8613/9 = 957 miles per hour

Let x = speed of the airplane

Let y = speed of the wind

While travelling against the wind,

x - y = 767 - - - - - -- 1

While travelling with the wind,

x + y = 957 - - - - - - -2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1,

-y - y = 767 - 957

-2y = -190

y = -190/-2

y = 95 miles per hour

x = 957 - y

x = 957 - 95

x = 862 miles per hour

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true
