You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
Hey, let me explain you something . . .
When you post the problem with this addition
AIRSPEED:---------------(mi/h)
WINDSPEED:--------------(mi/h)
we, the tutors, read it (as every reasonable person will read it) in this way:
I, the author of this post, do not need the solution.
I do not need the steps. I don't want learn the method.
I want only the numbers in the answer.
OK, so if you know the method, then why don't you calculate the numbers on your own ?
We, the tutors, are not the machines to calculate for you, or instead of you, or substitute you in doing YOUR job.
Our mission (function) in this forum is totally different: it is to TEACH the students.
If, in opposite, YOU NEED THE STEPS, then do not place these irritating lines in your post.
I assume that every reasonable person understands it (must understand it) without these explanations.
In other words, every reasonable person must understand what he (or she) is doing.
