plane speed x mph
\n" ); document.write( "wind speed 50 mph
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "against wind x - 50 mph
\n" ); document.write( "with wind x + 50 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Distance against wind 200
\n" ); document.write( "Distance with wind 400
\n" ); document.write( "Time = same
\n" ); document.write( "200 /(x- 50 )= 400 /(x+ 50 )
\n" ); document.write( "200 *(x+ 50 )= 400 *(x- 50 )
\n" ); document.write( "200 x + 10000 = 400 x -20000
\n" ); document.write( "400 x -200 x = 20000 + 10000
\n" ); document.write( "200 x = 30000
\n" ); document.write( "/ 200
\n" ); document.write( " x= 150 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
