<h2>Speed of plane = 1110 kmph</h2><h2>Speed of wind = 150 kmph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of plane be p and speed of wind be w.

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 5760 kilometers in 6 hours.

Here

            Speed = (p-w) kmph

            Time = 6 hours

            Distance = 5760 kmph

            Distance = Speed x Time

            5760 = (p-w) x 6

               p-w = 960 -----eqn 1  

Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 6300 kilometers in 5 hours.

Here

            Speed = (p+w) kmph

            Time = 5 hours

            Distance = 6300 kmph

            Distance = Speed x Time

            6300 = (p+w) x 5

               p+w = 1260 -----eqn 2    

eqn 1 + eqn 2

                p-w + p +w =  960 + 1260

                  2p = 2220

                    p = 1110 kmph

Substituting in eqn 2

                1110 + w = 1260

                         w = 150 kmph

Speed of plane = 1110 kmph

Speed of wind = 150 kmph

Mila [183]
Found the problem:
Item     Cost       Sales Price
T-shirt    6                10
hats       4                  7

Let x = t-shirts, y = hats

6x + 4y = 2,000
10x + 7y = 3,375

4y = 2000 - 6x
y = 2000/4 - 6x/4
y = 500 - 3x/2

10x + 7y = 3,375
10x + 7(500 - 3x/2) = 3,375
10x + 3500 - 21x/2 = 3,375
10x - 10.5x = 3,375 - 3500
-0.5x =  -125
-0.5x / -0.5 = -125/-0.5
x = 250 shirts

They will need 250 shirts.
