Question

I need help with this question please

Answer 1

Answer:

210 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of jet = x

headwind: speed = x - 27

time taken = 1134.6/(x - 27)

tailwind: speed = x + 27

time taken = 1469.4/(x + 27)

same amount of time:

1134.6/(x - 27) = 1469.4/(x + 27)

Cross multiply,

1134.6(x + 27) = 1469.4(x - 27)

1134.6x + 30634.2 = 1469.4x - 39673.8

334.8x = 70308

x = 210 mph
