Let \"s\" = speed of southbound plane in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+%2B+100\" = speed of northbound plane in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "The are separating at the rate of
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+%2B+s+%2B+100+=+2s+%2B+100\"
\n" ); document.write( "After 5 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "\"2000+=+%282s+%2B+100%29%2A5\"
