Two planes start from the same point and fly opposite directions. The first plane is flying 20 mph slower than the second plane in 2 h the planes are 540 mi apart. Find the rate of each plane

This

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = rate of the slower plane (First plane!)

x+25 = rate of the faster plane (Second plane!)

The planes fly for 2 hours, where Distance = R*T

Distance between the planes = SUM of the distances.

R*T + R*T= 470 miles

2*x + 2*(x+25)=470

2x+2x + 50 = 470

4x+50=470

4x=420

x=105 mph First plane

x+25= 105+25=130 mph Second plane.

4x+50=470

4x=420

x=105 mph First plane

x+25= 105+25=130 mph Second plane.
