Answer:

x = 5m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance flying out = 12 km  (headwind)

Distance flying back = 12 km (tailwind)

total distance = 12 + 12 =24 km

wind speed = 1km/h

speed going out (with headwind) = (x - 1) km/h

speed coming back (with tailwind) = (x + 1) km/h

Time taken to go out = distance going out / speed going out

= 12 / (x-1)

Time taken to come back = distance coming back / speed coming back

= 12 / (x+1)

total time = time taken to go out + time taken to come back

5 =[ 12/(x-1) ] + [ 12/(x-1)]

expanding this, we will get

5x² - 24x - 5 = 0

solving quadratic equation, we will get

x = -1/5 (impossible because speed cannot be negative)

or

x = 5 (answer)
