Answer:

t = 1 3/7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For plane 1

distance = rate *t

d1 = 40 *t


For plane 2

distance = rate * time

d2 = 100 * t


We know that d1+d2 = 200  (the planes will meet)

We know that the times will be the same because the leave at the same time.

Substitute in d1 =40t and d2 = 100t into  d1+d2 = 200


d1+d2 = 200

40t + 100t = 200

Combine like terms

140t = 200

Divide each side by 140

140t/140 = 200/140

t= 200/140

t= 20/14

t = 10/7

t = 1 3/7 hours

(-1,-9) because if we substituted 1 into x y would be 9 and if we substituted 1/2 into x y would be 3 but if we substituted -1 into x y would be 1/9 so therefore that value is incorrect

10^2 pages mean 100 page
so she has to read 100/6 page per day ie 16.66 pages
since her can read 20 page in average
