Step-by-step explanation:
5(550 + v) = 6(550 - v)
2.750 + 5v = 3.330 - 6v
5v + 6v = 3.300 - 2.750
11v = 550
v = 550 ÷ 11
v = 50mph
Step-by-step explanation:
let v is the speed of the wind,
the equation of the speed:
(550 + v ) × 5 = (550 - v) × 6
2750 +5v = 3300 - 6v
11v = 3300 - 2750
11v = 550
v = 550/11
v = 50
therefore, the speed of the wind =
50 mph
