Let d be the distance the fastest plane travels. Let s be the speed of the fastest.
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%2Fs=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282475-d%29%2F%28s-75%29=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d=3%2As\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282475-3%2As%29%2F%28s-75%29=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2475-3%2As=3%2A%28s-75%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-6%2As=-2475-225\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s=2700%2F6=450\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the faster plane travels at 450 mph and the other plane travels at 375 mph.
