A represents the speed of the aircraft.
b represents the speed of the bus.

a=2b-5
114/b=218/a

Substitution method

114/b=218/(2b-5)

(2b-5)*(114/b)= 218

(228b-570)/b = 218

228b-570= 218b

228b-218b=570

10b= 570

b=57

Plug the value of b into one of the original equations.

a=2(57)-5
a=114-5
a=109

Final answer:
Average speed of plane= 109
Average speed of bus= 57

What is 0.05 repeating as a fraction ?
grin007 [14]
This is the best I got Require to make 2 equations with the same repeating part and subtract them to eliminate the repeating part.

begin by letting x = 0.5555555................. (1)

To obtain the same repeating part after the decimal point need to multiply by 10

hence 10x = 5.555555........................(2)

It is important to obtain 2 equations in x, where the recurring part after the decimal points are exactly the same.

now subtract (1) from (2) to obtain fraction

(2) - (1) : <span>9x=5⇒x=<span><span>59</span></span></span>
