Plane II x mph
\n" ); document.write( "Plane I x+100
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "They are going away from each other.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "So add up their speed.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "combined speed = x+x+100
\n" ); document.write( "(2x+100 )
\n" ); document.write( "Time = 4 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Distance =2000 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "(2x+100 )*4= 2000
\n" ); document.write( "8x+400 =2000
\n" ); document.write( "8x=2000 -400
\n" ); document.write( "8x=1600
\n" ); document.write( "/8
\n" ); document.write( "x=200 mph Plane II
\n" ); document.write( "Plane I 200+100 =300 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
