Against the wind a small plane flew 858 miles in 2 hours 10 mins. The return trip only took 1 hour and 50 mins. What was the speed of the wind? What was the speed of the plane in still air? The speed of the plane is still air was __mph

The speed of the wind was __ mph

answer: 457.14

step-by-step explanation:

205 - 45 = 160

160 / .35 = 457.142857

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

d is the answer
