                    SPEED          TIME          DISTANCE
 
WITH WIND          345+w            x               d

AGAINST            345-w            x             1645

Description indicates speed of wind, w, the equal time each way, x, and the distance with the wind, d,
are all unknown. More information is needed if you want a value result for w.
