Answer:
b = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as
A = 
bh ( b is the base and h the height )
Here h = 3x + 15 and A = 15x + 75, thus
× b × (3x + 15) = 15x + 75
Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
b(3x + 15) = 30x + 150
Divide both sides by (3x + 15)
b = 
← factor numerator and denominator
= 
← cancel the factor (x + 5) on numerator/denominator
= 
= 10
Speed of the plane: 250 mph
Speed of the wind: 50 mph
Explanation:
Let p = the speed of the plane
and w = the speed of the wind
It takes the plane 3 hours to go 600 miles when against the headwind and 2 hours to go 600 miles with the headwind. So we set up a system of equations.

Solving for the left sides we get:
200mph = p - w
300mph = p + w
Now solve for one variable in either equation. I'll solve for x in the first equation:
200mph = p - w
Add w to both sides:
p = 200mph + w
Now we can substitute the x that we found in the first equation into the second equation so we can solve for w:
300mph = (200mph + w) + w
Combine like terms:
300mph = 200mph + 2w
Subtract 200mph on both sides:
100mph = 2w
Divide by 2:
50mph = w
So the speed of the wind is 50mph.
Now plug the value we just found back in to either equation to find the speed of the plane, I'll plug it into the first equation:
200mph = p - 50mph
Add 50mph on both sides:
250mph = p
So the speed of the plane in still air is 250mph.
Answer:
x ≥ 9 and x < 5
Step-by-step explanation:
See the line graph of a compound inequality shown in the attached photo.
Inequality has two parts. The right-hand part is shown by an arrow that is more than 9 and including 9.
So, the equation of inequality for this part is x ≥ 9.
Again, the left-hand part of the inequality graph shows another arrow which is less than 5 but not including 5.
So, the equation of inequality for this part is x < 5
Therefore, compound inequality is x ≥ 9 and x < 5 (Answer)
A gets 5 parts and I gets 8 parts
So 5+8=13. A will get 5/13 parts of the total
5/13*32(total)=12.3 since he can’t get .3 we round and Amir gets 12 leaving 20 for Isaac.
Answer:
317.6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
the length of the diagonal can be determined using Pythagoras theorem
The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²
where a = length
b = base
c = hypotenuse
280² + 150²
= 78,400 + 22,500
= 100,900
take the square root of 100,900
= 317.648 feet
the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
317.6 to the nearest tenth
