Answer
given,
tourist travels = 1500 miles
second plane averages 50 miles per hour faster than the first plane.
x = y + 50
The tourist uses the slower plane for the first 500 and the faster plane for the next 1000 miles.
total flying time = 6.5 hours





on solving equation
y = 86.67 mile/hr
x = 86.67 + 50
x = 136.67 mile/hr
