Ian flies a plane against a headwind for 4320 miles. The return trip with the wind took 12 hours less time. If the wind speed is 6 mph, how fast does Ian fly the plane when there is no wind?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "t = 4320/(v - w) ----- t = time in hours, p = plane's airspeed, w = windspeed
\n" ); document.write( "t - 12 = 4320/(v + w)
\n" ); document.write( "=====================
\n" ); document.write( "t = 4320/(v - 6)
\n" ); document.write( "t - 12 = 4320/(v + 6)
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Can you solve for v?\r
