Flying against the wind, a jet travels 1650 miles in 3 hours. Flying with the wind, the same jet travels 3480 miles in 4 hours. What is the rate of the jet in still air and what is the rate of the wind?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rate of the plane be x

The rate of the wind be y

Against the wind

Resultant velocity = x-y

1650/3 = x - y

550 = x - y

With the wind

Resultant velocity = x + y

3480/4 = x + y

870 = x + y

Solve equation simultaneously

Add both equations

870+550 = x+y+x-y

1420 = 2x

x = 710

x + y = 870

y=870 - 710

y = 160

The rate of jet in still air = 710 mph

The rate of wind = 160 mph

HOPE IT HELPS!
