One jet's speed = 80+x
\n" ); document.write( "another jet'sspeed = x
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "8(x+x+80)=7200
\n" ); document.write( "16x+160=7200
\n" ); document.write( "16x=7040
\n" ); document.write( "x=440
\n" ); document.write( "440+80=520
\n" ); document.write( "Hence, one jet's speed is 440 and another jet's speed is 520mph.
