plane speed=x mph
\n" ); document.write( "wind speed=y mph
\n" ); document.write( "with wind Speed = (x+y)
\n" ); document.write( "against wind speed= (x-y) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t=d/r
\n" ); document.write( "d= 1012 downstream
\n" ); document.write( "1012 / (x+y)= Speed = 11
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 11
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "92 / (x+y)= 1
\n" ); document.write( "x+ y 92 ............1
\n" ); document.write( "d= against wind 1012
\n" ); document.write( "1012 /(x-y)= 22
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 22
\n" ); document.write( "46 /(x-y) = 1
\n" ); document.write( " x - y = 46.00 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "add up (1) & (2)
\n" ); document.write( "2 x = 138
\n" ); document.write( "/ 2
\n" ); document.write( "x= 69 mph speed of plane in still air
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "we get y= 23 mph speed of wind
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
