thanks for your help mentallic but i am still very confused. i don't know what you mean by "the first equation involved the travel to and the second form."
i had a previous question that said the total round trip was 13 hours so what i did there was
4800/x+4800/x-200=13 and then eventually solved the equation
but now i don't know what to do because the equation looks like this for me
4800/x +4800/x-200=2 and that dosn't seem to work out...
i have tried to work up a formula using speed=distance/time and in previous questions i would have to put it into ax^2+bx+c form and then factor to find the x intercepts but this time it isn't working for me.
Hi i am stuck on this question i feel like i am missing information to solve it.
A jet flew from Tokyo to Bangkok, a distance of 4800km. on the return trip, the speed was decreased by 200km/h. if the difference in times of the flights was 2 hours, what was the jets speed from bangkok to tokyo.
