Algebra.Com's Answer #113042 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! two jets are traveling towards each other and are 4000 km apart. The rate of one jet is 100 km/h faster than the rate of the other. if the jets pass each other after 2.5 hours, what is the rate of the faster jet? \n" ); document.write( "------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The relative speed of one jet to the other is (2v + 100) km/hr, and is equal to the distance over the time, 4000/2.5 = 1600 \n" ); document.write( "2v+100 = 1600 \n" ); document.write( "2v = 1500 \n" ); document.write( "v = 750 \n" ); document.write( "The faster jet moves at 750+100 = 850 km/hour. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
