You can put this solution on YOUR website!
r = speed of either plane
\n" ); document.write( "r+95 = other plane's speed;
\n" ); document.write( "Here, I am using r for plane A and r+95 for plane B.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "________________speed____________time___________distance
\n" ); document.write( "planeA__________r________________5______________r5
\n" ); document.write( "planeB_________r+95______________5_____________(r+95)5
\n" ); document.write( "Total__________________________________________3225\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When they meet, the sum of their distances traveled is 3225 and rate*time gives distance of each.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for r:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%285r%2B5%28r%2B95%29=3225%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Compute the speed of the faster plane, plane B. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
