document.write( "Your equation for the speed of the slower plane is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "5x + 5(x+80) = 3650.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "==========================================>\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "10x + 400 = 3650  ====>  10x = 3650 - 400 = 3250 ====>  x = 325 mph.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer. Slower plane speed 325 mph.  Faster plane speed 325+80 = 405 mph.\r\n" );
