# Two airports

Two airports are 2690 km away. From the first airport, the airplane flies at a speed of 600 km/h, from a second airplane at a speed of 780 km/h. When will they meet if they flew at 10:00? How far from the first airport?

Result

t = 11:57 hh:mm
s1 =  1169.565 km

#### Solution:

2690 = 600(t-10.00) + 780(t-10.00)
s1 = 600*(t-10.00)

1380t = 16490
s1-600t = -6000

s1 = 2690023 ≈ 1169.565217
t = 1649138 ≈ 11.949275

Calculated by our linear equations calculator.
$s_{ 1 } = 1169.5652 = \dfrac{ 26900 }{ 23 } \doteq 1169.5652 = 1169.565 \ \text{ km }$
