What is the question? You gave just a description.

_________________rate_________time_________distance
Still Air________150
Against wind_____150-w__________4___________d
With wind________150+w__________9___________d

w is the speed of the wind; d is the distance between Miami and Albuquerque.
Do you want to know the value for d or w?

%28150-w%29%2A4=d and %28150%2Bw%299=d
Two linear equations in two unknown variables.
