plane speed x mph
\n" ); document.write( "wind speed 10 mph
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "against wind x-10mph
\n" ); document.write( "with wind x+10 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Distance against wind 380
\n" ); document.write( "Distance with tail wind 420
\n" ); document.write( "Time = same
\n" ); document.write( "380/(x- 10)= 420/(x+ 10)
\n" ); document.write( "380*(x+ 10)= 420*(x- 10)
\n" ); document.write( "380x +3800 =420x-4200
\n" ); document.write( "420x -380x =4200+3800
\n" ); document.write( "40x =8000
\n" ); document.write( "/40
\n" ); document.write( "x= 200 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
