\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "19. One high-speed jet travels 100 miles per hour faster than another. When one plane travels 2000 miles, the other travels 1500 miles. Find the speed of each plane.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let average speed of plane be S
\n" ); document.write( "Then speed of jet = S + 100\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Time jet takes to travel 2,000 miles equals time plane takes to fly 1,500 miles\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2000%2F%28S+%2B+100%29+=+1500%2FS\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1,500(S + 100) = 2000S ----- Cross-multiplying\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1,500S + 150,000 = 2,000S
\n" ); document.write( "– 2,000S + 1,500S = - 150,000
\n" ); document.write( "– 500S = - 150,000\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "S, or average speed of plane = \"%28-+150000%29%2F-+500\", or \"highlight_green%28300%29\" mph\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Jet’s average speed = \"300+%2B+100\", or \"highlight_green%28400%29\" mph\r
