Plane speed x mph
\n" ); document.write( "wind speed 25 mph
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "against wind x - 25 mph
\n" ); document.write( "with wind x + 25 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Distance against wind 572
\n" ); document.write( "Distance with wind 682
\n" ); document.write( "Time = same equate the time against with time with current
\n" ); document.write( "t=d/r
\n" ); document.write( "572 /(x- 25 )= 682 /(x+ 25 )
\n" ); document.write( "572 *(x+ 25 )= 682 *(x- 25 )
\n" ); document.write( "572 x + 14300 = 682 x -17050
\n" ); document.write( "572 x -682 x = -17050 + -14300
\n" ); document.write( "-110 x = -31350
\n" ); document.write( "/ -110
\n" ); document.write( " x= 285 mph
