Algebra.Com's Answer #771711 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Ian flies a plane against a headwind for 4320 miles. The return trip with the wind took 12 hours less time. If the wind speed is 6 mph, how fast does Ian fly the plane when there is no wind? \n" ); document.write( "----------------------- \n" ); document.write( "t = 4320/(v - w) ----- t = time in hours, p = plane's airspeed, w = windspeed \n" ); document.write( "t - 12 = 4320/(v + w) \n" ); document.write( "===================== \n" ); document.write( "t = 4320/(v - 6) \n" ); document.write( "t - 12 = 4320/(v + 6) \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "Can you solve for v?\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
