Two planes left the same airport traveling in opposite directions. The first plane left at 9:00 a. m. and 2.25 h later, the two planes were 1825 mi apart. The second plane left at 10:00 a. m. and its average rate was 108 mph slower than the first plane's average rate. What was the first plane's average rate?

Let x represent the first plane's average rate.

Enter an equation that can be used to solve this problem in the first box. Solve for x and enter the first plane's average rate in the second box.

Equation:

x = mph
