Plane A x 800 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Plane B x+15 1000 miles
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "t=d/r Time Plane A = Time Plane B
\n" ); document.write( "800/x=1000/(x+15)
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "800(x+15)=1000* x
\n" ); document.write( "800x+12000=1000 x
\n" ); document.write( "1000x-800x=12000
\n" ); document.write( "200x=12000
\n" ); document.write( "/200
\n" ); document.write( "x=60 Plane A mph
\n" ); document.write( "75 Plane B mph
\n" ); document.write( "
