Question 839014: Antonio flies from Houston to Philadelphia, a distance of about 1340 miles. His plane travels with the wind and takes 2 hours and 20 minutes. At the same time, Paul is on a plane from Philadelphia to Houston. Since his plane is heading against the wind, Paul's flight takes 2 hours and 50 minutes. What was the speed of the wind in miles per hour? What is the speed of the plane on its own?
I need two equations in order to graph. I know the x variable is the speed of the wind in miles per hour
and the y variable is the speed of the plane on its own. Answer by psbhowmick(878) (Show Source):
