Algebra.Com's Answer #699079 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! A plane can fly 560 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 240 miles. If the car travels 80 mph slower that the plane l, find the speed of the plane. \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "P = plane's speed \n" ); document.write( "C = Car's speed \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "P*t = 560 \n" ); document.write( "C*t = 240 \n" ); document.write( "P = C + 80 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "t = 560/P = 240/(P - 80) \n" ); document.write( "240P = 560*(P - 80) \n" ); document.write( "240P = 560P - 44800 \n" ); document.write( "320P = 44800 \n" ); document.write( "P = 140 mi/hr \n" ); document.write( " |
