Algebra.Com's Answer #780853 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A private jet flies the same distance in 15 hours that a commercial jet flies in 10 hours. If the speed of the commercial jet was 98mph less than 2 times the speed of the private jet, find the speed of each jet. \n" ); document.write( "==================== \n" ); document.write( "c = commercial jet's speed \n" ); document.write( "p = private jet's speed \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "same distance in 15 hours that a commercial jet flies in 10 hours \n" ); document.write( "----> c = 1.5p \n" ); document.write( "c = 2p - 98 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "1.5p = 2p - 98 \n" ); document.write( "-0.5p = -98 \n" ); document.write( "p = 196 mi/hr \n" ); document.write( "c = 294 mi/hr \n" ); document.write( "===================== \n" ); document.write( "Not worth a Master's Thesis, IMO. \n" ); document.write( "========= \n" ); document.write( "Slow jets. \n" ); document.write( " |
