Algebra.Com's Answer #554245 by lwsshak3(11628)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A train travels 100 km in the same time that a plane covers 250 km. If the speed of the plane is 30 km per hour less than 3 times the speed of the train, find both speeds. The train's speed and the planes speed. \n" ); document.write( "*** \n" ); document.write( "let x=speed of train \n" ); document.write( "3x-30=speed of plane \n" ); document.write( "travel time=distance/speed \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "250x=100(3x-30) \n" ); document.write( "250x=300x-3000 \n" ); document.write( "50x=3000 \n" ); document.write( "x=60 \n" ); document.write( "3x-30=180-30=150 \n" ); document.write( "speed of train=60 km/hr \n" ); document.write( "speed of plane=150 km/hr \n" ); document.write( " |
