time equals distance divided by rate __ the times are the same\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x=wind __ 2000/(760+x)=1800/(760-x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"cross\" multiplying __ (2000)(760)-2000x=(1800)(760)+1800x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "200(760)=3800x __ 200=5x
