Question 776309
Flying with the wind a plane went 183 km/h. Flying into the same wind the plane only went 141km/h. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind. 
=================
Let plane speed in still are be "p".
Let wind speed be "w"
------------------
Equations:
p + w = 183 km/h
p - w = 141 km/h
-----------------
Add and solve for "p":
2p = 323
plane speed in still air = 161.5 km/hr
------
Solve for "w":
p + w = 183
161.5 + w = 183
wind speed = 21.5 km/hr
