Let \"+s+\" = the speed of the car with no wind in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+w+\" = the speed of the wind in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+w+\" = the speed of the car going with the wind in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+-+w+\" = the speed of the car going against the wind in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Going with the wind:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+360+=+%28+s%2Bw+%29%2A4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Going against the wind:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+360+=+%28+s-w+%29%2A6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "There are 2 equations and 2 unknowns, so it is solvable\r
