LOL!!!!!!! Anyway, here's another way to do it.
 
x=Plane's rate in still air
y= Rate of the wind
 
x-y=550
x+y=870     
 
Then, use the elimination method. (subtract)
 
-2y=-320
y=160km/h
 
Then, we know that the plane's rate in still air is 550+160, which is 710 km/h.
 
It is DEFINITELY A STRONG WIND!!!!!!!
