Question 1096869: Two passengers leave the airport at Denver, Colorado. One takes a 2.3-hr flight to Seattle, Washington, and the other takes a 3.3-hr flight to New York City. The plane flying to New York flies 60mph faster than the Plane flying to Seattle. If the total distance traveled by both planes is 2662 Miles, determine the average speed of each plane.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let s and s+60 be the speeds of the plane to Seattle and the plane to New York, respectively. Then:
2.3(s)+3.3(s+60)=2662
Solve for s
