Two airplanes left the same airport and arrived at the same destination at the same time. the first airplane left at 8: 00 a. m. and traveled at an average rate of 496 miles per hour. the second airplane left at 8: 30 a. m. and traveled at an average rate of 558 miles per hour. let x represent the number of hours that the first plane traveled. how many hours did it take the first plane to travel to the destination? enter an equation that can be used to solve this problem in the first box. solve for x and enter the number of hours in the second box. equation: x = h

The formula for distance is equal to:

d = v * t

where d is distance, v is velocity or speed, and t is time

Since the distance travelled by the two airplane is similar, therefore we can create the initial equation:

v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

We know that v1 = 496, and v2 = 558 so:

496 t1 = 558 t2

or

x = 558 t2 / 496

We also know that airplane 1 travelled 30 minutes (0.5 hours) earlier than airplane 2, therefore:

x = t2 + 0.5

Hence,

496 (t2 + 0.5) = 558 t2

496 t2 + 248 = 558 t2

t2 = 4 hours

x = t2 + 0.5 = 4 + 0.5

x = 4.5 hours

So the equation is:

x = 558 t2 / 496

And the first plane travelled:

x = 4.5 hours

the most boring ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
