A plane can fly 1260 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 350 miles. If the car travels 130 mph slower than the plane, find the speed of the plane.
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "let x=speed of car
\n" ); document.write( "(x+130)=speed of plane
\n" ); document.write( "travel time=distance/speed (same for car and plane
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "\"1260%2F%28x%2B130%29=350%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "350(x+130)=1260x
\n" ); document.write( "350x+45500=1260x
\n" ); document.write( "910x=45500x=50
\n" ); document.write( "x+130=180
\n" ); document.write( "speed of the plane.=180 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
