1) Gathering the data
Speed Jet 1: x
Speed Jet 2: x-99
Distance between them: 11,532 miles
After 8 hours
What is the rate of each jet?
2) Let's write an equation, relating to all of this information. The distance, the speed. Thinking of V =Δs/ *Δt ⇒Δs = V*Δt
11532 = (x+x-99) *8
11532=(2x -99)8
11532 =16x -792
11532+792=16x
12324=16x Divide both sides by
x= 770.25 mph
2.2 The speed of jet 1 = 770.25 mph jet 2 : 671.25 mph
