16 - x = 27
x = -11
16 - x = 27
16 = 27 + x
16 - 27 = x
-11 = x
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.
