train speed =x
\n" ); document.write( "distance =180\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "plane speed = 5x-30
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 450\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t=d/r\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "100/x = 450/(5x-30)
\n" ); document.write( "time for both is same\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "100(5x-30)=450x
\n" ); document.write( "500x-3000=450x
\n" ); document.write( "500x-450x=3000
\n" ); document.write( "50x=3000
\n" ); document.write( "/50
\n" ); document.write( "x=60 mph speed of car\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "speed of plane = 5x-30
\n" ); document.write( "=5*60-30
\n" ); document.write( "=300-30
\n" ); document.write( "=270 mph speed of plane
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
