Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
d = rt
distance = rate of speed times time traveled
185 = (r - w)2.15
185 = (r+w)1.38
185/2.15 = r-w
185/1.38 = r+w
add two above equations to eliminate one variable
2r = 18t/2.15 + 185/1.38
r = half of (185.215) + 185/1.38) = speed of plane in still air
= about 110.05 mph
w = 185/1.38 - r = 185/1.38 - 110.05 = about 24.01 mph = wind speed
