Question 296523: a private plane traveled from Seattle to a rugged wilderness, at an average speed of 273 mph. On the return trip, the average speed was 234 mph. If the total traveling time was 7 hours, how far is Seattle from the wilderness? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+y=7
234x=273y
use either 234x or 273y to find the distance.
x=49/13 y=42/13
234*49/13=882 miles from the wilderness
