Very interesting. This was obviously a Wonderland Airlines flight, on a route where a tailwind

slowed them down and a headwind sped them up.

But we understand what you're trying to say.

6 (S - 25) = 5 (S + 25)

Eliminate parentheses:

6S - 150 = 5S + 125

Add 150 to each side:

6S = 5S + 275

Subtract 5S from each side:

S = 275

When the wind helps, ground speed is 300, the craft covers 1,500 in 5 hours.

When the wind hurts, ground speed is 250, the craft covers 1,500 in 6 hours.

An airplane flew for 4 hours with a 20 km hr tailwind The return flight against the same wind took 5 hours Find the speed of the airplane in still air?

Let the speed of the airplane in still air be represented by V.Velocity = Distance ÷ Time, thus Distance = Velocity x Time.D = 4(V + 20) = 5(V - 20), then 4V + 80 = 5V - 100 : V = 180 kphThe speed in still air is 180kph

An airplane flies 840 mi in 3 hours with a tail wind The return trip at the same airspeed takes 3.5 hours Find the wind speed and the airspeed?

u said airspeed remains the same, so 840 mi in 3 hrs the groundspeed is 280, for the return trip groundspeed is 240, therfore the wind speed is 40
