Answer:

Speed of plane in still air = 135 km/h

Speed of wind = 23 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Speed of plane with the wind = 158km/h

Speed of plane against the wind = 112km/h

Let,

x be the speed of plane

y be the speed of wind

According to given statement;

x+y = 158     Eqn 1

x-y = 112       Eqn 2

Adding Eqn 1 and 2

[tex]x+y+x-y=158+112\\2x = 170\\\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{270}{2}\\x=135[/tex]

Putting x = 135 in Eqn 1

135+y = 158

y = 158-135

y = 23

Hence,

Speed of plane in still air = 135 km/h

Speed of wind = 23 km/h
