a.) At what speeds are the two planes traveling at?
b.) How far did each plane travel?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x=plane A
x-47=plane B, units mph
4.25(2x-47)=4636.75
8.5x-199.75=4636.75
8.5x=4836.50
x=569 mph Plane A
x-47=522 mph. Plane B
A traveled 2418.25 mi
B traveled 2218.5 mi.
