document.write( "A planes flies south at 192mph. Two hours later another plane leaves at 960mph
\n" );
document.write( "Let x and (x-2)represent times traveled respectively
\n" );
document.write( " D = rt (Distance traveled the same for both planes)
\n" );
document.write( "  192x = 960(x-2)
\n" );
document.write( "   1920 = 768 x
\n" );
document.write( "     x = 2.5 hrs , time traveled by slower plane.
\n" );
document.write( "Second plane will pass the first plane in 1/2 hr OR 30min.\r
