You can put this solution on YOUR website! two planes, which are 2265 miles apart, fly toward each other. their speed differ by 55 mph. if they pass each other in 3 hours what is the speed of each
***
let x=speed of slower plane
x+55=speed of faster plane
distance=travel time*speed
..
3x+3(x+55)=2265
3x+3x+165=2265
6x=2100
x=350
x+55=405
speed of slower plane=350 mph
speed of faster plane=405 mph
