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.

Step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
