Two airliners are  \"\" a part  and heading toward each other at different altitudes.

\

The first plane is travelling north at \"\".

\

Second plane is traveling south at \"\".

\

Draw a diagram planes are tarvelling by north and south.

\

\"\"

\

Let time is \"\" both are travels same time.

\

Where \"\" is number of hours untill the planes travelling distance.

\

\"\"

\

Find time \"\".

\

Distance formula: \"\".

\

Let time is number of hours untill they travelling distance.

\

Make a table:

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
Direction of the planes\"\"\"\"\"\"
First plane by north  \"\" \"\" \"\"
Second plane by south \"\" \"\" \"\"
\

\"\"

\

Solve the equation.

\

Distance travelled by first plane  plus Distance travelled by second plane equals \"\"

\

\"\" 

\

\"\"    (Original equation) 

\

\"\"              (Simplify) 

\

\"\"          (Divide each side by \"\")

\

\"\"              (Simplify)

\

Therefore, the two planes are travelling \"\" apart after \"\".
