Question 1077039: complete the table for the following: a small plane took a total of 5 hours to complete a 580 mile trip. The first two hours where flown at one speed, then hit a headwind and their speed was slowed by 10 mph for the rest of the trip.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! first speed was x
second speed was x-10 units mph
2x+3(x-10)=580
speed * time= distance
5x-30=580
5x=610
x=122 mph x 2 hours =244 miles
x-10=112 mph x 3 hours=336 miles
sum is 580 miles
