Let p and w represent the speed of the plane and the speed of the wind, respectively.
.. speed = distance/time
.. p +w = 720/3 = 240
.. p -w = 720/4 = 180

Add the two equations to eliminate w.
.. 2p = 420
.. p = 210
.. w = p -180 = 30

The speed of the wind is 30 mph.
The speed of the plane in still air is 210 mph.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y = -3 we can plug straight into the other equation

--> -x + 2y = -6

-x + 2(-3) = -6

-x - 6 = -6

-x = 0

x = 0

To graph this draw a horizontal like across the page at y = -3 and a vertical line down the page to represent x = 0

The point where these lines intersect is (0,-3)

So that would be the ordered pair solution.
