this 3 hour difference includes the flight time minus the time zones and no wind.
find the actual flight time eastward and the difference in time zones
:
let f = flight time
let t = time difference
:
Write an equation for each direction
f + t = 13; NY/Paris
f - t = 3: Paris/NY
---------------------Addition eliminates t find f
2f = 16
f = 8 hrs flying time
Find time dif
8 + t = 13
t = 5 hrs time dif
