we can find the distance of each jet to the Air base and add
distance formula
where v is velocity and t the time
First jet
replacing on the formula of the distance, we dont know the velocity so we will assign the letter X, time is 6 hor for the exercise, then
First distance is represented by 6x
Second jet
We apply the formula, where velocity is 63 miles an hour faster than the other, and the same time 6 hours
Solving x
now we sum the distances and the solution is total distance(7926miles)
and we can find the missing number (x, velocity of first jet)
Finally
we can calculate the rate or velocity of each jet
first jet
and find the rate or velocity dividing disntace between time
Second jet
and find the rate or velocity
