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( "=====================
