    325 mph and 420 mph

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If the speed of the slower plane is x, then the speed of the faster plane is x + 95.

    The distance traveled by the slower plane is 3x.

    The distance traveled by the faster plane is 3 (x + 95).

    The total distance is 2235 miles.

    3x + 3 (x + 95) = 2235

    3x + 3x + 285 = 2235

    6x = 1950

    x = 325

    x + 95 = 420

    The speed of the planes is 325 mph and 420 mph.
