plane -- x
wind -- y
960/(x-y) = 10/3 (#1)
960/(x+y) = 2.5 (#2)
#1
2.5(x+y) = 960
5x+ 5y = 1920
#2
10/3(x-y) = 960
10x+10y = 2880
2(#1)
10x + 10y = 3840
#2 : 10x-10y = 2880
add them
20x = 6720
x=336
sub back in simplest #1
5(336) + 5y = 1920
y = 48
check:
with wind: 960/(336+48) = 2.5
against: 960/(336-48) = 10/3 ... YEAH
