s=speed in still air
\n" ); document.write( "w=wind speed
\n" ); document.write( "s+w=9000/9=1000
\n" ); document.write( "s-w=3780/7=540
\n" ); document.write( "add them
\n" ); document.write( "2s=1540
\n" ); document.write( "s=770 mph
\n" ); document.write( "substitute into first
\n" ); document.write( "w=230 mph
\n" ); document.write( "check in second
\n" ); document.write( "770-230=540
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
