You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Speed of plane = x
\n" ); document.write( "Flying against wind = x - 7mph
\n" ); document.write( "Flying with wind = x + 7mph
\n" ); document.write( "3.2 * (x - 7mph) = 3 * (x + 7mph)
\n" ); document.write( "3.2x - 22.4 = 3x + 21
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms
\n" ); document.write( "3.2x - 3x = 21 + 22.4
\n" ); document.write( "0.2x = 43.4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 217 mph
\n" ); document.write( "This is the speed of the plane.
