Algebra.Com's Answer #130489 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! an airplane travwl 100km/h slower then another airplane. In 4 hours the faster airplanes travel the same distance as the slower airplane travel in 6 hours. Find the rate of the faster airplane. \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "Slower plane DATA: \n" ); document.write( "rate = x-100 km/h ; time = 6 hrs; distance = rt = 6(x-100) km \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "Faster plane DATA: \n" ); document.write( "rate = x km/h ; time = 4 hrs; distance = rt = 4x km \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "distance = distance \n" ); document.write( "6(x-100) = 4x \n" ); document.write( "2x = 600 \n" ); document.write( "x = 300 km/h (rate of the faster airplane) \n" ); document.write( "x-100 = 200 km/h ( rate of the slower airplane) \n" ); document.write( "========================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
