Answer:

Wind speed = 159.6 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is the same so some sort of basic equation can be made.

Givens

From A to B

t = 4 hours

v = p + w

d = 1064

===========

From B to A

t1 = 7 hours

v = p - w

d = 1064

Equation

t * (p + w) = t1 * ( p - w)

Solution

4(p + w) = 7(p - w)

4p + 4w = 7 p - 7w

<em>Add 7w to both sides</em>.

4p + 4w + 7w = 7p

4p + 11w = 7p    

<em>Subtract 4p from both sides</em>

11w = 7p - 4p

11w = 3p

<em>Divide by 3</em>

p = 11w/3

====================

4P + 4W = 1064

11w/3 + 3W = 1064

w(3.6667 + 3) = 1064

W*6.666667 = 1064

W = 1064 / 6.666667

W = 159.6 mph

Helens increases more over time
Clints salary increases 4000$ a year
Helens salary increases 5400$ a year
How i got that was i got there current wage subtracted it from there starting wage and then divided by 3 because it has been 3 years since the beginning wage
In 10 years if this rate continues clint would be makin 60,000$ for that year and helen would be makin 81,000$ for that year
