Plane speed x mph with no wind
\n" ); document.write( "wind speed 30 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "against wind x - 30 mph
\n" ); document.write( "with wind x + 30 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Distance against wind 200
\n" ); document.write( "Distance with wind 300
\n" ); document.write( "Time = same equate the time against with time with current
\n" ); document.write( "t=d/r
\n" ); document.write( "200 /(x- 30 )= 300 /(x+ 30 )
\n" ); document.write( "200 *(x+ 30 )= 300 *(x- 30 )
\n" ); document.write( "200 x + 6000 = 300 x -9000
\n" ); document.write( "200 x -300 x = -9000 + -6000
\n" ); document.write( "-100 x = -15000
\n" ); document.write( "/ -100
\n" ); document.write( " x= 150 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
