These should help you analyze and solve this problem:

travel rates involving wind

travel rates, round trip distance

Those might not fit your example type perfectly but you should be able to figure how to make adjustments in what is needed.

Plane speed x mph
wind speed 25 mph
..
against wind x - 25 mph
with wind x + 25 mph

Distance against wind 572
Distance with wind 682
Time = same equate the time against with time with current
t=d/r
572 /(x- 25 )= 682 /(x+ 25 )
572 *(x+ 25 )= 682 *(x- 25 )
572 x + 14300 = 682 x -17050
572 x -682 x = -17050 + -14300
-110 x = -31350
/ -110
x= 285 mph
