Question 300844: Tom took a trip of 1,300 miles. He traveled by train at 50 miles an hour and the same number of hours by plane at 275 mph Answer by unlockmath(1688) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
Let's have x represent the hours tom traveled. The equation will look like:
50x+275x=1300 Combine like terms to get:
325x=1300 Divide both sides by 325 to get:
x=4 So it took 4 hours by each method of travel.
Make Sense?
