Answer:
210 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
speed of jet = x
headwind: speed = x - 27
time taken = 1134.6/(x - 27)
tailwind: speed = x + 27
time taken = 1469.4/(x + 27)
same amount of time:
1134.6/(x - 27) = 1469.4/(x + 27)
Cross multiply,
1134.6(x + 27) = 1469.4(x - 27)
1134.6x + 30634.2 = 1469.4x - 39673.8
334.8x = 70308
x = 210 mph

If you draw out the triangles it is easier to see
well, we know it's a rectangle, so that means the sides JK = IL and JI = KL, so
