Algebra.Com's Answer #463398 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two planes are 2725 mi apart and are traveling toward each other. One plane is traveling 110 mph faster than the other plane. The planes meet in 2.5 h. Find a speed of each plane. Slower plane_____mph and Faster plane_______mph \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "Equations: \n" ); document.write( "2.5x + 2.5(x+110) = 2725 \n" ); document.write( "5x = 2725-2.5*110 \n" ); document.write( "5x = 2450 \n" ); document.write( "x = 490 mph (slower plane speed) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "x+110 = 600 mph (faster plane speed) \n" ); document.write( "============================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( " |
