speed in still air = x mph
\n" ); document.write( "speed of wind = y mph\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "600/(x-y)= 1.5
\n" ); document.write( "1.5x-1.5y=600
\n" ); document.write( "/1.5
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=400....................1
\n" ); document.write( "600/(x+y)= 1
\n" ); document.write( "600 = x+y...................2
\n" ); document.write( "add 1 & 2
\n" ); document.write( "2x=1000
\n" ); document.write( "/2
\n" ); document.write( "x= 500 --------- speed in still air.
\n" ); document.write( "Total distance = 1200 miles
\n" ); document.write( "speed = 500 mph
\n" ); document.write( "time when no wind = 1200/500
\n" ); document.write( "=2.4 hours
\n" ); document.write( "...
