Los Angeles, California, and Honolulu, Hawaii, are about 2500 mi apart. One plane flies from Los Angeles to Honolulu, and a second plane flies in the opposite direction.
a. Describe the meaning of each number in the x-equations. (The equations for y simply assign noncolliding flight paths.)

b. Use tables or a graph to find the approximate time and location of the planes relative to Los Angeles when the planes pass each other.
c. Write and solve an equation to find the time and location of the planes when they pass each other.
