A bird leaves its nest and travels 15 miles per hour downwind for x hours. On the return trip, the bird travels 3 miles per hour slower and has 2 miles left after x hours.

d = distance down wind d - 5 = distance back time = distance ÷ speed x = d/18 x = (d - 5)/(15)

so d/18 = (d - 5)/15. Cross multiply 18d - 120 = 15d = 40-120 = -5d 24 = d so the whole trip assuming the bird gets back to the starting point is 48 miles..

Step-by-step explanation:

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
