Algebra.Com's Answer #648809 by jorel555(1290) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2400 kms/6 hrs= avg speed of 400 kph \n" ); document.write( "2400 kms/4 hrs= avg speed of 600 kph \n" ); document.write( "Difference of speeds is 200 mph; divided by 2 legs this equals 100 mph wind. So: \n" ); document.write( "6(x-100)=4(x+100) \n" ); document.write( "6x-600=4x+400 \n" ); document.write( "2x=1000 \n" ); document.write( "x=500 \n" ); document.write( "So, the plane flies at 500kph in still air!!!!!!!! \n" ); document.write( " |
