Answer:

55 mph

Explanation:

Distance = speed × time, so time = distance / speed.

If x is the speed of the wind, then:

220 / (385 + x) = 165 / (385 − x)

Cross multiply:

220 (385 − x) = 165 (385 + x)

Distribute:

84,700 − 220 x = 63,525 + 165 x

Combine like terms:

21,175 = 385 x

Solve for x:

x = 55

The speed of the wind is 55 mph.
