You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if the 2 planes are coming to each other... The sum of their velocities are equal to the the velocity that both of them getting closer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Lets think ones velocity is x. Others should be (x+140)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Their sum should be equal to the relative velocity from earth.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(2x +140) mph\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we can write it with the distance and time.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1.5+=+1530%2F%282x%2B140%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x+%2B+210+=+1530\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x+=+1320\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+440\" mph\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So it's the first planes Velocity and the others Ones is 580 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
