This only makes sense if the 950 km/h west velocity is the velocity of the plane relative to the air
Add it vectorially to the wind velocity vector, to get the velocity of the plane with respect to the ground.
It will have components of 950 km/h west and 55 km/h north.
The vector sum has magnitude 951.6 km/h. You can get the direction from the ratio of components (arctan 55/950 north of west)
