If a plane leaves and it takes two hours to get there. When it returns it takes 30 minutes longer because it was going 10mph slower. What was the speed

2 hr  *  x m/hr    = 2 x miles

 

2 .5 hr * (x-10) =  2 x miles

2.5x   - 25    = 2x

.5 x = 25

x = 50                     50 miles hr going    40 coming back        100 miles           (really slow plane)
