It takes santa 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind .it takes him 7 minutes to fly 35 miles against the wind determine the speed of santa's sleigh in still air (x) and the speed of the wind(y)

Santa's speed in still air is 6 miles per minute

Speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of Santa in still air. It is assumed that in still air. She is flying with the wind. If the speed of the wind is y, then him total speed is x + y

It takes Santa 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind.

Speed = distance / time

It means that

x + y = 35/5 = 7

It takes him 7 minutes to fly 35 miles against the wind. This means that his total speed will be x - y

Speed = distance/time. Therefore,

x - y = 35 /5 = 5 - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 7 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7 - y - y = 5

-2y = 5 - 7 = -2

y = -2/-2 = 1

x = 7 - y = 7 - 1

x = 6

answer: ur v dumb

step-by-step explanation:

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
