... traveled 1600 miles to Munich and back. The trip there was with the wind. It took 10 hours. The trip back was into the wind . The trip back took 16 hours. What is the speed of the plane in still air? what is the speed of the wind?

Withe the wind, and against the wind, system%28r%2Bw=1600%2F10%2Cr-w=1600%2F16%29

system%28r%2Bw=160%2Cr-w=100%29

ADD corresponding members and simplify, highlight%28r=130%29, and w easily findable, highlight%28w=30%29.
