one car is traveling at 55 kilometers per hour the other is at 70

let x = speed of first car
=> speed of second car = x+15
knowing that the total milage covered in 4 hours was 500 Km


x+(x+15) = 500/4
2x + 15 = 125
2x = 110
x = 55
=> car one is 55 Kph
=> car two is 70 Kph


to check work, in 4 hours, car one travels 55 * 4 Km => 220 Km
car two travels 70 * 4 Km => 280 Km


220 + 280 = 500 Km

If an aircraft flew at 400km an hour to its destination and returned at 500kmh and the total trip equals 9 hours how far did the aircraft fly and how do you do the formula to solve?

NRP (no-return point) = Range(in hours) x V(out) x V(in) / V(out) + V(in) = 2000km
