\n" ); document.write( "The combined speeds in km/hr of the two planes is \"13512%2F8+=+1689\".

\n" ); document.write( "If the two speeds are x and x+71, then
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Bx%2B71+=+1689\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B71+=+1689\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+1618\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+809\"

\n" ); document.write( "The speed of the slower plane is 809km/hr; the speed of the faster plane is 809+71 = 880 km/hr.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
