Question 1134644
.
<pre>
The "time equation" is


{{{1242/(395+w)}}} = {{{1128/(395-w)}}}.


Solve for w, which is the wind speed - the value under the problem's question.


Start cross-multiplying.   Then every next step after that is OBVIOUS.


Happy calculations !

It is a typical "tailwind and headwind" word problem.
