A system of equation is 1680mi3hr = p−w×600×2hr -p + w for a jet airliner travels 1680 miles in 3hours with a tail wind.
Let p be the speed of the jet airliner
and w be the speed of the tail wind
It takes the plane 3 hours to go 1680 miles when a jet airliner travels with a tail wind and and 3.5 hours to go 1680 miles against the wind.. So, using system of equations we get
1680mi3hr = p−w×600×2hr = p + w
Solving for the left sides we get:
200mph = p - w
300mph = p + w
Now solve for one variable in either equation, we use
200mph = p - w
Add w to both sides:
p = 200mph + w
Using the value of x, we can found the value of w using system of equations.
300mph = (200mph + w) + w
Combine like terms:
300mph = 200mph + 2w
Subtract 200mph on both sides:
100mph = 2w
On dividing by 2:
50mph = w
So the speed of the tail wind is 50mph.
Therefore, 200mph = p - 50mph
Add 50mph on both sides:
250mph = p
Hence, speed of jet airliner is 250mph.
