Since a calculator is involved in finding the answer, it makes sense to me to use a calculator capable of adding vectors.
The airplane's ground speed is 158 mph, and its heading is 205.3°.

A diagram can be helpful. You have enough information to determine two sides of a triangle and the angle between them. This makes using the Law of Cosines feasible for determining the resultant (r) of adding the two vectors.
.. r^2 = 165^2 +15^2 -2*165*15*cos(60°) = 24975
.. r = √24975 ≈ 158.03
Then the angle β between the plane's heading and its actual direction can be found from the Law of Sines
.. β = arcsin(15/158.03*sin(60°)) = 4.7°
Thus the actual direction of the airplane is 210° -4.7° = 205.3°.
The ground speed and course of the plane are 158 mph @ 205.3°.

3 and y are being multiplied and then you add the two!:)

<em>Comment on the question</em>
Vectors can be represented a number of different ways. Components can be given in rectangular or polar form, and the presentation can be made as a row vector, column vector, sum of orthogonal unit vectors, and other ways. We assume this is supposed to be a column vector of the form ...
