Rate x Time = Distance
\n" ); document.write( "Rate with wind = Speed of Plane in calm air + Speed of Wind=\"R%5Bw%5D=P%2BW\"
\n" ); document.write( "Rate against wind = Speed of Plane in calm air - Speed of Wind=\"R%5Ba%5D=P-W\"
\n" ); document.write( "Distance is the same in both cases.
\n" ); document.write( "Time with : \"T%5Bw%5D=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Time against : \"T%5Ba%5D=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Distance : \"D=800\"
\n" ); document.write( "Generate your two rate equations in terms of P and W and the known quantitites.
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for P and W.
