Ответ:
x = 387
Step-by-step explanation:
The wind acts in the opposite direction to the plane when the time is longer.
The wind acts in the same direction as the plane when the time is shorter.
Equation
d = r*t
Givens
d = 1720x = plane's speedy = wind speedt1 = 5 hourst2 = 4 hours.Substitution
d = (x + y) * t1720 = (x + y) * 41720 = (x - y) * 5Since the two distances are the same, you can equate the right hand sides.
(x + y) * 4 = (x - y)*5 Remove the brackets.4x + 4y = 5x - 5y Add 5y to both sides4x + 4y + 5y = 5x - 5y + 5y Combine all the terms.4x + 9y = 5x Subtract 4x from both sides9y + 4x - 4x = 5x - 4x Combine9y = xNow use one of the given equations with the distance
1720 = (x + y)*4 Substitute 9y for x1720 = (9y + y) * 4 Combine1720 = 10y * 4 Multiply the right1720 = 40y Divide by 401720/40 = 40y/40 Do the division43 = y y = wind speek9y = x x = 9*y 9*43 = x x = 387 miles per hour.Ответ:
