Answer:

<em>The speed of the plane in still air is 590 mph</em>

<em>The speed of the wind is 20 mph</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

x = Speed of the plane in still air

y = Speed of the wind

The plane traveled d=4575 miles with the wind in t=7.5 h. The speed calculated with this data corresponds to the sum of the speed of the plane and the speed of the wind, thus:

\displaystyle x+y=\frac{4575}{7.5}=610

x + y = 610        [1]

The plane traveled 4275 miles in 7.5 hours against the wind, thus the speed calculated is x - y:

\displaystyle x-y=\frac{4275}{7.5}=570

x - y = 570        [2]

Adding [1] and [2]:

2x = 610 + 570 = 1180

x = 1180 / 2 = 590

From [1]:

y = 610 - 590 = 20

The speed of the plane in still air is 590 mph

The speed of the wind is 20 mph
