A plane can fly 600 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 160 miles. If the car travels 110 mph slower than the plane, find the speed of the plane and the speed of the car.
\n" ); document.write( "Plane DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 600 miles ; rate = x mph ; time = 600/x hrs
\n" ); document.write( "Car DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 160 miles ; rate = x-110 mph ; time = 150/(x-110) hrs
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "time = time
\n" ); document.write( "600/x = 150/(x-110)
\n" ); document.write( "600x - 600*110 = 150x
\n" ); document.write( "450x = 600*110
\n" ); document.write( "x = 146 2/3 mph (plane rate)
\n" ); document.write( "x - 110 = 36 2/3 mph (car rate)
\n" ); document.write( "====================================
