if plane is flying , then plane is flying
for time
Find the time it takes for Plane to travel miles if it takes Plane the same amount of time to travel miles.
distance formula:
=>
for Plane A to travel will take
....eq.1
if it takes Plane B the same amount of time to travel , we have
......eq.2
from eq.1 and eq.2:
so, -> rate of Plane
then -> rate of Plane
for Plane A to travel will take ->the time it takes for Plane to travel miles
check time for plane :
-> so, proves that the time is same

Let T be the time taken by both
Then we get the following SPEED equation:
1,800 = 1,965 - 55T -------- Multiplying by LCD, T
1,800 - 1,965 = - 55T
- 165 = - 55T
T, or time taken by both =
That's all!! Nothing complex!!
