Algebra.Com's Answer #662635 by jorel555(1290)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let w represent the speed of the wind. Then: \n" ); document.write( "300/(150+w)=200/(150-w) \n" ); document.write( "45000-300w=30000+200w \n" ); document.write( "15000=500w \n" ); document.write( "w=30 mph as the speed of the wind. ☺☺☺☺ \n" ); document.write( " |
