Plane going East x mph
\n" ); document.write( "Plane going West x+ 75 mph
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "They are moving 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 + 75
\n" ); document.write( "( 2 x + 75 )
\n" ); document.write( "Time = 3 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = 3075 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "(2x+75)*3=3075\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6.00 x + 225 = 3075
\n" ); document.write( "6 x = 3075 + -225
\n" ); document.write( "6 x = 2850
\n" ); document.write( "/ 6
\n" ); document.write( "x= 475 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Plane going East = 475 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Plane going West 475 + 75 = 550 mph
