When traveling with the wind, it takes an airplane 3 hours to travel 1800 miles. It takes the same airplane 3.6 hours to travel the same 1800 miles when traveling against the wind. Assuming the airplane travels at a constant speed during both trips, what is the speed of the airplane and the speed of the wind?

The speed of the airplane in still air is 550 mph.

The speed of the wind is 50 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = distance / time

distance = speed * time

or simply

d = st

Let v be the speed of the airplane with no wind.

Let w = speed of wind

With the wind:

d = 1800; s = v + w; t = 3

1800 = 3(v + w)

Against the wind:

d = 1800; s = v - w; t = 3.6

1800 = 3.6(v - w)

We have a system of two equations:

3(v + w) = 1800

3.6(v - w) = 1800

Divide both sides of the first equation by 3. Divide both sides of the second equation by 3.6.

v + w = 600

v - w = 500

Add the equations.

2v = 1100

v = 550

The speed of the airplane in still air is 550 mph.

v + w = 600

550 + w = 600

w = 50

The speed of the wind is 50 mph.

$3720

step-by-step explanation:

taxable income = $31000

as per the 2018-2019 us tax bracket, the tax rate is 12% for an individual whose taxable income is between $9,526 to $38,700.

so, the tax to be paid by him = 12% of 31000

= 0.12 * 31000     [12% converted to decimal as 0.12]

= $3720
