X should be 300
15/x= 0.05
x= 15/0.05= 300
x=300
Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 460 miles per hr
x = 500 miles per hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the planes be X any
Let their speeds be xmiles/hr and ymiles/hr respectively
x = y + 40 (assuming X is faster by 40miles/hr)
Distance travelled by X to meet Y = 0.75x
Distance travelled by Y to meet X = 0.75y
0.75x + 0.75y = 720 --------1
Put x = y + 40 in eqn 1
0.75(y+40) + 0.75y = 720
0.75y + 30 + 0.75y= 720
1.5y = 690
y = 460 miles per hr
x = 460 +40
= 500 miles per hr
