Question 254739: With a tailwind, a plane traveled 600 mile in 4 hours. With a headwind, the plane traveled the same distance in 7 hours. Write a system of equations that could be used to solve this problem to determine the wind speed? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rate*Time=Distance
Vp-Velocity of the plane in still air
Vw-Velocity of Wind
With the wind, the velocities add,
Against the wind, the velocities subtract,
