Two planes leave an airport at the same time and travel opposite directions. One plane travels 98 km/h faster than the other one. If the two planes are 3668 Km apart after 2 hours, what is the rate of each plane. Any help with this would be grateful . In desperate need of help here .any takers ? Ok I guess there is no one on here that can help me .

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\text{868 and 966 km/h}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

               Let x = the speed of plane A

  Then 98 + x  = the speed of Plane B

   and 98 + 2x = the speed at which the planes are separating

and 2(98 + 2x) = their separation after 2 h

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}2(98 + 2x) & = & 3668\\98 + 2x & = & 1834\\2x & = & 1736\\x & = & \mathbf{868}\\98+ x& = &98 + 868\\& = & \mathbf{966}\\\end{array}\\\text{The speeds of the two planes are $\large \boxed{\textbf{868 and 966 km/h}}$}[/tex]

Check:

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}2[98 + 2(868)]& = & 3668\\\\2(98 + 1736) & = & 3668\\\\2(1834) & = & 3668\\3688 & = & 3668\\\end{array}[/tex]

OK
