Respuesta :

Answer:

S=32.5

W=97.5

Step-by-step explanation:

S=speed of plane in still air

W=speed of wind

-----------------------------------------

3(S+W)=130

6(S-W)=130

-----------------------------------------

S+W=43.33333...

S-W=21.66666...

2S=64.999...

S=32.5(simplified)

-----------------------------------------

32.5+W=130

W=97.5

-----------------------------------------
