Answer:
Thus, train speed = 70 mph while wind speed is. y = 14 mph
Explanation:
Let x = speed of the plane in mph.
Let y = speed of wind in mph.
We are told that The trip there was with the wind. It took 4 hours. The trip back was into the wind. The trip back took 6 hours.
Formula for distance is;
Distance = speed × time
Thus;
(x + y)4 = 336
(x + y) = 84 - - - - (1)
Also;
(x - y)6 = 336
Divide both sides by 6
(x - y) = 56 - - - (eq 2)
Add eq 1 and 2 to give;
2x = 84 + 56
2x = 140
x = 140/2
x = 70 mph
Plug in 70 mAh for x in eq 1.
(70 - y) = 56
y = 70 - 56
y = 14 mph
Thus, train speed = 70 mAh while wind speed is. y = 14 mph
