D=RT
\n" ); document.write( "24=RT
\n" ); document.write( "42=(24-w) OR T=42/(24-w)
\n" ); document.write( "54=(24-w) OR T=54/24+w)
\n" ); document.write( "42/(24-w)=54/(24+w)
\n" ); document.write( "54(24-w)=42(24+w)
\n" ); document.write( "1,296-54w=1,008+42w
\n" ); document.write( "-54w-42w=1,008-1,296
\n" ); document.write( "-96w=-288
\n" ); document.write( "w=-288/-96
\n" ); document.write( "w=3 mph is the wind speed.\r
