\n" ); document.write( "S = V * T
\n" ); document.write( "S = (V + 20) * 4
\n" ); document.write( "S = (v - 20) * 5
\n" ); document.write( "So, (V + 20) * 4 = (v - 20) * 5
\n" ); document.write( "4V + 80 = 5V - 100
\n" ); document.write( "v = 180
\n" ); document.write( "Speed of the plane = 180 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
