Two jets are traveling toward each other and are 4000km apart. The rate of one jet is 100km/h faster than the rate of the other. If the jets pass each other after 2.5 hours, what is the rate of the faster jet?

Answered by Reiny
rate of slower jet ---- x km/h
rate of faster jet ----- x+100 km/h

solve for x

2.5x+ 2.5(x+100) = 4000

(I got x = 750 , so the faster jet goes 850 km/h)
