If a turbo-jet goes 2000 miles in 3 hours less time than it takes the super-prop to go 2800 miles, find the speed of each plane. I set this up as 2800/10 + 50 = 2000/t-3 when I factor the GCF of t(t-3) I cannot get any further...please help! 1 solutions Answer 288356 by josmiceli(9819)   on 2011-02-15 22:24:31 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! = speed of super-prop = speed of turbo-jet = time for super-prop to go 2800 mi given: (1) (2) (3) This is 3 equations and 3 unknowns, so it's solvable Substitute (1) in (2) (2) (2) Substitute (3) in (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) and, since (1) (1) The turbo-jet has a speed of 400 mi/hr The super-prop has a speed of 350 mi/hr check answer: (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) hrs and (3) (3) (3) OK
