Algebra.Com's Answer #499137 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a bird flies 80km/h with the wind but only 40km/h against the wind. What is the bird speed in still air? What is the speed of the wind? \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "Equations:: \n" ); document.write( "With wind:: b + w = 80 km/hr \n" ); document.write( "Against ::: b - w = 40 km/hr \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "Add and solve for \"b\": \n" ); document.write( "2b = 120 \n" ); document.write( "b = 60 km/hr (speed of the bird in still air) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"w\": \n" ); document.write( "b + w = 80 \n" ); document.write( "60 + w = 80 \n" ); document.write( "w = 20 km/hr (speed of the wind) \n" ); document.write( "==================================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "================ \n" ); document.write( " |
