\n" ); document.write( "S=speed in still air; W=wind speed
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "S-W=410 mph
\n" ); document.write( "S=W+410 mph
\n" ); document.write( ",
\n" ); document.write( "S+W=490
\n" ); document.write( "(W+410mph)+W=490 mph
\n" ); document.write( "2W+410mph=490mph
\n" ); document.write( "2W=80mph
\n" ); document.write( "W=40mph
\n" ); document.write( "Wind speed is 40 mph.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "S=W+410mph=40mph+410mph=450 mph
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: Speed in still air is 450 mph.
