Three airports A, B, and C are located on an east-west line. B is 705 miles west of A, and C is 652.5 miles west of B. A pilot flew from A to B, had a stopover at B for three hours, and continued to C. The wind was blowing from the east at 15 miles per hour during the first part of the trip, but the wind changed to come from the west at 20 miles per hour during the stopover. The flight time between A and B and between B and C was the same. Find the airspeed of the plane.
