<PRE><B>Question 654045</B>
A field goal kicker can kick the football 22
yards into the wind. In identical conditions,
kicking with the wind, the ball travels 58
yards.
a) Find the distance the kicker can kick
with no wind.
Answer in units of yards 
b) Find the distance controlled by the wind.
Answer in units of yards
**
let x=kick distance with no wind
let c=distance controlled by wind
..
x-c=22
x+c=58
add
2x=80
x=40
c=x-22=40-22=18
kick distance with no wind=40 yds
distance controlled by wind=18 yds
