Solving a System of Equations with Three Unknowns
  DISTANCE = RATE x TIME PROBLEMS
Now let’s try a problem where we have wind blowing in the direction (+ wind (w)) of travel and again with another problem with the wind blowing against the direction ( - wind (w)) of travel.

A jet makes a 1,500 mile flight with the wind in 3 hours; the return flight against the wind takes 3 1/5 hours. What is the rate of speed of the jet?
