flying with the wind a plane went 135 mph. Flying into the same wind the plane only went 93 mph. Find the speed of the wind and the speed of the plane in still air.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Let p be speed of the plane in still air ;Let w = speed of wind.
\n" ); document.write( "=============
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "P + w = 135 mph
\n" ); document.write( "p - w = 93 mph
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add and solve for \"p\":
\n" ); document.write( "2p = 228
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "p = 114 mph (speed of the plane in still air)
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract those same equations and solve for \"w\":
\n" ); document.write( "2w = 42 mph
\n" ); document.write( "w 21 mph (speed of the wind.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
