r*t=d
\n" ); document.write( "with the wind
\n" ); document.write( "(r+7)*3=d
\n" ); document.write( "3*r+21=d
\n" ); document.write( "against the wind
\n" ); document.write( "(r-7)*3.2=d
\n" ); document.write( "3.2*r-7*3.2=d
\n" ); document.write( "3.2*r-22.4=d\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3.2*r-22.4=3*r+21
\n" ); document.write( "0.2r=43.4/0.2
\n" ); document.write( "r=217.0 mph rate plane
\n" ); document.write( "distance=224.0*3=672.0
\n" ); document.write( "distance=210.0*3.2=672.0
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "(217.0+7)*3= (217.0-7)*3.2
\n" ); document.write( "224.0*3=210.0*3.2
\n" ); document.write( "672.0=672.0
\n" ); document.write( "ok
