Question 296474: a plane flying the 3020-mile trip from city A to city B has a 60mph tailwind. the flight's point of no return is the point at which the flight time required to return to city A is the same time as the time required to continue to city B. If the speed of the plane in still air is 430mph, how far from city A is the point of no return ? I need to translate this problem into a pair linear equation in two variables and I am stuck. Where do I begin? I can work the problem out once I have the equation. can you help?
