Two planes
Two planes are flying from airports A and B, 420 km distant from each other. The plane from A took off 15 minutes later and flies at an average speed of 40 km/h higher than the plane from B. Determine the average speed of these two aircraft if you know that it will meet 30 minutes after takeoff A.
