Question

Use the three steps to solve the problem.

With a certain tail wind a jet aircraft arrives at its destination, 1,890 miles away, in 3 hours. Flying against the same wind, the plane makes the return trip in 3 3/8 hours. Find the wind speed and the plane's airspeed.

Answer 1

So it is same distance both direction
3(w+x)=1890
27/8 (x-w)=1890

Answer 2

how would i write the answer then?

Answer 3

solve for w and x

Answer 4

x- plane speed
w= wind speed

Answer 5

im confused on how still

Answer 6

3x+3w=1890
27/8x- 27/8w=1890

Answer 7

for w i got 315?

Answer 8

{{x -> 595, w -> 35}}
