Answer:

  • 84 mph and 28 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of plane is p and speed of the wind is w.

Then we have:

  • 10*(p + w) = 1120 ⇒ p + w = 112
  • 20*(p - w) = 1120 ⇒ p - w = 56

Sum the two equations and solve for p:

  • p + w + p - w = 112 + 56
  • 2p = 168
  • p = 84

Find w:

  • 84 + w = 112
  • w = 112 - 84
  • w = 28
