    480 mph and 600 mph

    Step-by-step explanation:

    we can call the first planes speed x, and the other x+120 because it is going 120 mph faster. Because distance = rate * time, that means that 1620 = 1.5 * (x+x+120) and then you just solve the equation

    1620=1.5 * (x+x+120)

    1620=1.5 * (2x+120)

    1620=3x+180

    1440=3x

    x=480

    x+120=600
