document.write( "Question 947741: A jet flew at an average speed of 480mph from point x to point y. Because of head winds, the jet averaged only 440mph on the return trip, and the return trip took 35 minutes longer. How many hours was the flight from point y to point x? How far is it from point x to y? \n" ); document.write( "

d, the distance between points X and Y

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "___________________speed______________time_______________distance
\n" ); document.write( "GOING______________480___________________t________________d
\n" ); document.write( "RETURN_____________440_________________t+35/60____________d\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d is for both going and returning, so expressions for RT are equal.
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28480t=440%28t%2B7%2F12%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for t.
\n" ); document.write( "From there, you have \"d=480%2At\".
