Think of this as one of the planes standing
\n" ); document.write( "still and the other one flying at the sum of their speeds
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the speed of the slower DISABLED_event_one= \"+s+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The speed of the faster DISABLED_event_one= \"+s+%2B+65+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2660+=+%28+s+%2B+s+%2B+65+%29%2A4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2660+=+%28+2s+%2B+65+%29%2A4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2660+=+8s+%2B+260+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+8s+=+2400+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+=+300+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+65+=+365+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The speed of the slower plane is 300 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "The speed of the faster plane is 365 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+=+300%2A4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+=+1200+\" mi
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B2%5D+=+365%2A4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B2%5D+=+1460+\" mi
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+%2B+d%5B2%5D+=+1200+%2B+1460+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+%2B+d%5B2%5D+=+2660+\" mi
\n" ); document.write( "OK
