Answer:

The answer to your question is: time = 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total distance = 1300 miles

train v = 50 mi/h time is the same distance = x

plane v = 275 mi/h distance = 1300 - x

t = ?

Formula

v = d/t

Process

Train t = d/v t = x / 50

Plane t = d/ v t = (1300 - x) / 275

x / 50 = (1300 - x) / 275

275 x = 50 (1300 - x)

275 x = 65000 - 50x solve for x

275x + 50x = 65000

325x = 65000

x = 65000/325

x = 200

Time with train

t = 200 / 50 = 4 hours

Time with plane

t = (1300 - 200) / 275

t = 1100 / 275 = 4 hours

Answer:

Let the number of hours traveled by train be "x".

The x = the number of hours traveled by plane.

-------------------------------------------------

Equation:

train distance + plane distance = 1300 miles

50x + 275x = 1300

x(325) = 1300

x = 4 hours

The trip took 8 hrs.
