The plane traveling 200 mph, started 4 hours earlier.

As at when they meet, let the 550 mph, have traveled for x hours.

The 200 mph would have traveled (x + 4) hours, since it started 4 hours earlier.

As at when they met, the distance covered is the same:

Distance = Speed * hour

550x = 200(x + 4)

550x = 200x + 200*4

550x = 200x + 800

550x - 200x = 800

350x = 800

x = 800/350

x = 16/7 hours.

The distance travelled = 550x = 550 * 16/7 = 8800/7 miles

The distance = 8800 / 7 miles  or ≈ 1257.14 miles

Hope this explains it.

Answer: y = 5d + 7 / c - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add -3y to both sides

cy - 7 + -3y = 5d + 3y + -3y

= cy - 3y - 7 = 5d

Step 2: Now, add 7 on both sides

cy - 3y - 7 +7 = 5d +7

= cy - 3y = 5d +7

Step 3: Factor out y

y(c - 3) = 5d + 7

Step 4: Divide both sides by c-3

y(c - 3) / c - 3 = 5d+7 / c-3

Your answer for this should be

y = 5d + 7 / c - 3

Hope this helped!
