Question 704881: A jet plane, flying 110 mph faster than a propeller plane, travels 3465 miles in 2 hours less time than the propeller plane takes to fly the same distance. How fast does each plane fly?
I used the equation 3465/x-3465/x+110=2 and my answer is still incorrect according to the site I have to submit my homework through.

Planes____________speed________________time______________distance
jet______________r+110________________t-2________________3465
propel___________r____________________t__________________3465

Jet: (r+110)(t-2)=3465
Propellor: rt=3465

Solve for t using the propellor equation and substitute this into the Jet equation; solve for r, getting the value for r.
