Aircraft speeds
Two planes take off simultaneously from airports A and B, fly towards each other, and meet in 20 minutes. The distance between the airports is 220 km, and the average speed of the aircraft flying from airport A is 60 km/h more than the average speed of the other aircraft. What are the average speeds of the two planes?
