9/10=a/30. and value of a is 27
Answer:
The velocity of jet in still air is
and velocity of wind is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the rate of the jet in still air and y be the rate of the wind.
Given:
Velocity against wind, a jet travels 2160 miles in 3 hours.
Velocity against wind 
Flying with the wind, same jet travels 6000 miles in 6 hours.
Flying with the wind 
As such its velocity against wind is 
and with wind is
therefore
------------(1)
---------------(2)
Adding equation 1 and 2.



Put x value in equation 2



Hence velocity of jet in still air is
and velocity of wind is
.
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
to get x alone you divide the 2 away on both sides, getting x = 8. To check multiply 8 by 2 and you get 16.
