plane speed x mph
\n" ); document.write( "wind speed 20 mph
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "against wind x-20 mph
\n" ); document.write( "with wind x+20 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Distance against wind 350
\n" ); document.write( "Distance with tail wind 420
\n" ); document.write( "Time = same
\n" ); document.write( "350/(x- 20)=420/(x+20)
\n" ); document.write( "350*(x+20)=420*(x-20)
\n" ); document.write( "350x+7000=420x -8400
\n" ); document.write( "420x-350x=8400+ 7000
\n" ); document.write( "70x=15400
\n" ); document.write( "/70
\n" ); document.write( "x= 220 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
