A train travels 160km in the same time that a plane covers 448km. If the speed of the plane is 10km per hr less than3 times the speed of the train, find both speeds.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Train DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 160 km ; rate = x km/h ; time = 160/x hrs
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Plane DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 448 km ; rate = 3x-10 km/h; time = 448/(3x-10) hrs
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "time = time
\n" ); document.write( "160/x = 448/(3x-10)
\n" ); document.write( "160(3x-10) = 448x
\n" ); document.write( "480x - 1600 = 448x
\n" ); document.write( "32x = 1600
\n" ); document.write( "x = 50 km/h (train rate)
\n" ); document.write( "3x-10 = 140 km/h (plane rate)
