2 planes are traveling towards eachother at 28000 miles apart. if one plane is traveling 50 miles an hour faster than eachother and it takes 4 hours to reach eachother, how fast is each plane going?

I will take your 28,000 miles to mean 2,800 miles apart!!!!.
Let the speed of the slower plane = S
Then the speed of the faster plane=S + 50
But we have:
4S + 4(S+50) = 2,800, solve for S
S = 325 mph - the speed of slower plane.
325 + 50 =375 mph - the speed of the faster plane.
