Answer 1

x=6 ; y=1

Explanation:

Let 'y' stand for the speed of the wind and 'x' stand for the speed of Santa. We will use the general equation (distance)=(rate)(time) to write two equations from the given information:

With the wind:

35=(x+y)(5)

Against the wind:

35=(x-y)(7)

Now we have two equations and two unknowns so we can solve for x and y. We get:

x=6 miles/min

y=1 miles/min
