You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1.) A blimp that usually goes y mph in still air, when a 10 mph tail wind is blowing?
\n" ); document.write( "(y+10) = speed with the wind
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2.) A boat traveling upstream on Pine Creek, which has a current of 2 mph.
\n" ); document.write( " The boat usually goes z mph in still water.
\n" ); document.write( "(z-2) = speed upstream
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3.) The plane flew to Omaha and then returned. The speed of the plane in still air was 100 mph more than the wind speed.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "s = speed in still air
\n" ); document.write( "(s-100) = wind speed
\n" ); document.write( "with the wind:
\n" ); document.write( "s + (s-100) =
\n" ); document.write( "2s - 100 = speed with the wind
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Against the wind
\n" ); document.write( "s - (s-100) =
\n" ); document.write( "s - s + 100 =
\n" ); document.write( "100 mph = speed against the wind
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4.) The distance traveled by a jet in 12 hours at x mph. (symbolic expression)
\n" ); document.write( "dist = time * speed
\n" ); document.write( "d = 12x
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
