Answer:

  • Plane = 105 mph and wind = 15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the plane's speed is p, the wind speed is w.

<u>We have:</u>

  • 2(p - w) = 180 ⇒ p - w = 90
  • 1.5(p + w) = 180 ⇒ p + w = 120

<u>Solve the system by elimination, add up the equations:</u>

  • p - w + p + w = 90 + 120
  • 2p = 210
  • p = 105

<u>Find the value of w:</u>

  • 105 - w = 90
  • w = 105 - 90
  • w = 15
