Answer:

a)

x = (158-112) / 1x

or 158-112 / x

b) 112+ 23 /158-23 = x

or if you want x to be the same value as the first part then you could write

112+x / 158-x = 135/135

or revise as an equality

23 ≤ 112 < 158

112 + 23 = 158

112 + x = 158

Explanation:

Tailwind speed

x = 158-112 / 2

x = 46/2

x = 23 knots

Speed

x = 112 + 23 / 158-23

x = 135 / 135 m/h = same speed as stated in question.
