You can think of this as one of the planes
\n" ); document.write( "not moving and the other one traveling
\n" ); document.write( "at the sum of their speeds
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t+\" = time in hours until
\n" ); document.write( "2nd plane intercepts 1st plane
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+200+=+%28+350+%2B+450+%29%2At+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+200+=+800t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+1%2F4+\" hr
\n" ); document.write( "2nd plane intercepts 1st plane
\n" ); document.write( "in 15 min
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
