Algebra.Com's Answer #656852 by jorel555(1290)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! When they cross flight paths, assuming they meet each other, then you add velocities: \n" ); document.write( "225n+200n=1275 \n" ); document.write( "425n=1275 \n" ); document.write( "n=3 \n" ); document.write( "They cross flight-paths in 3 hours. ☺☺☺☺ \n" ); document.write( " |
