Answer:

475 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

time = distance / rate

If x is the speed of the plane in still air:

2100 / (x + 25) = 1890 / (x − 25)

Cross multiply:

2100 (x − 25) = 1890 (x + 25)

Distribute and solve:

2100x − 52500 = 1890x + 47250

210x = 99750

x = 475

What is the value of x?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ΔACB ≅ ΔDCE then ∠A ≅ ∠D, that is

3x - 10 = 2x + 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 10 = 10 ( add 10 to both sides )

x = 20
