Question

An air traffic controller is tracking two planes.To start Plane A was at an altitude of 990 meters and plane B was at an altitude of 1476 meters.plane A is loosing altitude at 18 meters per second and plane b is loosing altitude at 27 meters per second.write an equation to show when the two planes would be at the same altitude

Answer 1

The equation representing when the two planes would be at the same altitude is 9x=486

In terms of mathematics, what is an equation?

Equation: A declaration that two expressions with variables or integers are equal. In essence, equations are questions, and attempts to systematically identify the solutions to these questions have been the driving forces behind the creation of mathematics.

From (a) we get that: Altitude of Plane A = 990-18x

Altitude of Plane B = 1476-27x

make 890 - 18x = 1476-27x

-18x+27 x = 1476-890

9x=486

X= 54

so pass 54 seconds will the two plane at the same altitude.
