Scientists are preparing two satellites to be launched. The equation y=8200xy=8200x represents the number of miles, yy, that the satellite, Space Explorer B, flies in xx hours. The satellite, Space Explorer A, flies 28800 miles in 24 hours. How many fewer miles does Space Explorer A travel in one hour than Space Explorer B?

Respuesta :

Answer:

It flies 380 miles fewer

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is as follows;

Scientists are preparing two satellites to be launched. The equation y=820x represents the number of miles, y, that the satellite, Space Explorer B, flies in x hours. The satellite, Space Explorer A, flies 28800 miles in 24 hours. How many fewer miles does Space Explorer A travel in one hour than Space Explorer B?

Solution;

For explorer B

The equation is;

y = 8200x

This mean that in 1 hour, it flies 820 miles

For explorer A

28,800 miles in 24 hours

In one hour, we have 28,800/24 = 1,200 miles

The number of fewer miles that explorer A travels will be ;

1200 miles - 820 miles = 380 miles fewer

Answer:

wrong
