Think of this as one plane standing still and
\n" ); document.write( "the other traveling at the sum of their speeds
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+s+\" = the speed of the slower plane in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+95+\" = the speed of the faster plane in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3225+=+%28+s+%2B+s+%2B+95+%29%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3225+=+5%2A2s+%2B+475+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+10s+=+2750+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+=+275+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+95+=+370+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The speed of the slower plane is 275 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "The speed of the faster plane is 370 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+=+275%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+=+1375+\" mi
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B2%5D+=+370%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B2%5D+=+1850+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+%2B+d%5B2%5D+=+1375+%2B+1850+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+%2B+d%5B2%5D+=+3225+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
