begin mathsize 16px style Let space the space original space speed space of space the space aircraft equals straight x space km divided by hr
rightwards double arrow New space speed equals left parenthesis straight x minus 400 right parenthesis space km divided by hr
Duration space of space flight space with space original space speed equals open parentheses 6000 over straight x close parentheses space hour
Duration space of space flight space with space reduced space speed equals open parentheses fraction numerator 6000 over denominator straight x minus 400 end fraction close parentheses space hour
therefore fraction numerator 6000 over denominator straight x minus 400 end fraction minus 6000 over straight x equals 1 half
Solve space this space to space get space the space value space of space straight x. end style
