Two planes just took off from Charlotte NC. The first plane is traveling 1.5 times as fast as the second plane. After traveling

in the same direction for 2.5 hours, they are 127.5 miles apart. What is the average speed of each plane?

Givens

Slower plane

r = r

t = 2.5 hours

d = d

Faster Plane

r_faster = 1.5 * r

t = 2.5 hours

d1 = d + 127.5

The  time is the same for both

t = d/r

d1/r1 = d/r

(d+ 127.5)/1.5r = d/r   Multiply each side by r

(d + 127.5)/1.5 = d       Multiply both sides by 1.5

d + 127.5 = 1.5d          Subtract d from both sides.

127.5 = 1.5d - d    

127.5 = 0.5d              Divide by 0.5

127.5 / 0.5 = d

255 = d

Now you can go back and figure out the rates.

First find d1

d1 = d + 127.5

d1 = 255 + 127.5

d1 = 382.5

<em><u>Rate of the slower plane</u></em>

d = 255

t = 2.5 hours

r = d/t

r = 255/2.5

r = 102 miles per hour.

<em><u>Faster plane</u></em>

d1 = 382.5 miles

t = 2.5 hours

r1 = d/t

r1 = 382.5/2.5 = 153 miles per hour.

Solve for x thanks!!!!!

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angle with the expession and the one that has a measure of 58 and corresponding, they have equal measure. This helps us write an equation-

12x-2=58

now, solve

-2+2=0, 58+2=60

12x=60

12x/12=60/12

x=5

hope this helps:)

please crown me brainliest!!!
