An aircraft travels with the wind for 120 miles in 0.75 of an hour. The return trip is flown against the wind and takes exactly 1 hour. Which system of linear equations represents x, the speed of the plane in miles per hour, and y, the speed of the wind in miles per hour? Recall the formula d = rt.
