Let \"+s+\" = the speed in mi/hr of the plane in still air
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+c+\" = the speed in mi/hr of the wind
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+-+c+=+1015%2F7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+c+=+820%2F4+\"
