\n" ); document.write( "bird . . . .35 = r
\n" ); document.write( "bird . . . 65 = r + c
\n" ); document.write( "bird . . . 5 = r -c\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "substitute r with 35.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "65 = 35 + c
\n" ); document.write( "c = 30.
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "5 = 35 - 30 [check]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the speed of the wind is 30 mph
