An airplane flew 3.5 hours with a 60 mph head wind. The return trip with a tail wind of the same speed took 2.5 hours. Find the speed of the plane in still air.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60 mph is the speed of the plane alone or after adding the speed of wind

Let s be the speed of the plane in still air. r * t = d Solve the following for s.\[\left(\frac{35}{10}\right)*(s-60)\text{==}\left(\frac{25}{10}\right)*(s+60) \]\[s=360 \text{ mph}\]

Fractions were used so that the symbolic answer was exact. (no decimal point)
