Algebra.Com's Answer #121126 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rate x Time = Distance \n" ); document.write( "Rate with wind = Speed of Plane in calm air + Speed of Wind= \n" ); document.write( "Rate against wind = Speed of Plane in calm air - Speed of Wind= \n" ); document.write( "Distance is the same in both cases. \n" ); document.write( "Time with : \n" ); document.write( "Time against : \n" ); document.write( "Distance : \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. \n" ); document.write( " |
