Against the wind a commercial airline in south america flew 504 miles in 3.5 hours. with a tailwind the return trip took 3 hours. what was the speed of the plane in still air? what was the speed of the wind?

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

so, notice, it went 504 against the wind, and the return trip, well, unless the road elongated or shrunk somewheres, the return trip is also 504 miles.

now, if say the plane has a still air speed of "p", and the wind has a speed of "w", when it was going against the wind, it wasn't really going "p" fast, it was going "p - w" fast, because the wind was subtracting speed from it.

now, when it was going with the wind, it wasn't going "p" fast either, it was going faster, at "p + w" fast, because the wind was adding to it. thus

Okay i will add you

This is what i found “an explicit formula designates the nth term of the sequence, as an expression of n (where n = the term's location). it defines the sequence as a formula in terms of n. this example is an arithmetic sequence(the same number, 5, is added to each term to get to the next term).” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
