Set up two equations for the 'position' of the two planes\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P1 = 190t
\n" ); document.write( "P2 = 780 - 200t\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now find the time when the two Positions are equal\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "190t = 780 - 200t
\n" ); document.write( "390t = 780
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "They will pass each other two hours into their flights
\n" ); document.write( "
