You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"s\" = speed in still air
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"j\" = speed of jetstream
\n" ); document.write( "Flying with jetstream, plane's speed is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+%2B+j\"
\n" ); document.write( "Flying against jetstream, plane's speed is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+-+j\"
\n" ); document.write( "I can say:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2800+=+%28s+-+j%29%2A5\" km
\n" ); document.write( "\"2760+=+%28s+%2B+j%29%2A3\" km
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"2800+=+5s+-+5j\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2760+=+3s+%2B+3j\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of the 1st equation by \"3\"
\n" ); document.write( "and both sides of the 2nd by \"5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8400+=+15s+-+15j\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"13800+=+15s+%2B+15j\"
\n" ); document.write( "Add the equations
\n" ); document.write( "\"22200+=+30s\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+740\" km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "and, since
\n" ); document.write( "\"2760+=+%28s+%2B+j%29%2A3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2760+=+%28740+%2B+j%29%2A3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2760+=+2220+%2B+3j\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3j+=+540\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"j+=+180\" km/hr\r
