Flying against the wind, a jet travels 8730mi in 9 hours. flying with the wind, the same jet travels 7260mi in 6 hours. what is the rate of the jet in still air and what is the rate of the wind?

rate of the jet in still air: mi/h

rate of the wind: mi/h

recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

j = jet's rate

w = wind's rate

so with the wind the actual speed of the Jet is really j + w, because the wind is adding speed to it, and against it is j - w, since the wind is eroding speed from it.

hello i am doing good for you that it's summer in your country or state ; )

btw in my country we just have sun and rain as (because i live in the caribbean lol)

also, thx a lot for the points : )
