An airplane with a ground speed of 550 km/hr travels along a heading of 30 degrees N of W. At that high altitude there is a powerful 210 km/hr wind (known as the jet stream) 40 degrees south of west. Determine the direction that the pilot is aiming the plane.

(I know this question has been asked already 3 times- but 2 of the answers were wrong, and I couldnt understand the work for the correct one.)

the answer key says the pilot must point 52.4 degrees NofW.

Thank you!
