19 . In a flight of 600 km, an aircraft was slowed down due to bad weather. Its average speed for the trip was reduced by 200 km/hr and the time of flight increased by 30 minutes. Find the duration of flight.

Let the original average speed of the aircraft be \( x \) km/h, and the original time of flight be \( t \) hours.

### Step 1: Set up equations

- The distance of the flight is 600 km.
- Original speed: \( x \) km/h.
- The original time of flight would be:

\[
t = \frac{600}{x}
\]

- The reduced speed due to bad weather is \( x - 200 \) km/h.
- The new time of flight is increased by 30 minutes (or \( \
