Answer:

Speed of plane in still air: 490  mile/hour

speed of wind: 70  mile/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

still speed = x        wind speed = w

with wind: speed = still + wind

(x+w) * 3 = 1680     ...a

against wind: speed = still - wind

(x-w) * 4 = 1680    ...b

b-a ... 4x-4w-3x-3w = 0

x-7w = 0

x = 7w

substitution: (7w+w)*3 = 1680      8w = 560       wind speed (w) = 70

still speed (x) = 7w = 490 mile/hour
