Algebra.Com's Answer #35244 by rchill(405)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation becomes 640x+560x=2100, where x is the amount of time. Combining the like terms we get 1200x=2100; dividing both sides by 1200, we get x=1.75 hours, which is the same as 1 hour 45 minutes. Therefore, the two planes will be 2100 miles apart at 12:15pm. \n" ); document.write( " |
