Answer:

The speed of plane is 378 mph in still air.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the maximum speed of the plane.

Let y be the speed of the wind.

Distance an airplane travels = 1680 miles against the wind in 5 hours

So, equation  becomes,

\frac{1680}{5}=x-y or x-y=336      .....(1)

And with the wind, equation becomes,

\frac{1680}{4}=x+y or x+y=420    .... (2)

Solving both equations, we get;

2x=756

x = 378

And x+y=420

y=420-378=42

Hence, the speed of plane is 378 mph and the speed of wind is 42 mph.

X = velocity of plane
y = velocity of wind

x - y = 1680/5 = 336 mph .....(1) [ plane flying against the wind]
&
x + y = 1680/4 = 420 mph....(2) [ plane flying with the wind]

Adding (1) and (2) to eliminate y gives

2x = 756
x = 378 mph is the speed of the plane with no wind.
