try to make this into 2 operations....

you probably already know this, but an operation is either + - * or /. The following problem has 4 operations:

you have to subtract pressure from 980 (1), then divide that by 60 (2) and then multiply that by 80 (3) and then add 75 (4). that's 4 operations. i need to simplify it down to only 2 operations. i can only get it to three, which is:

wind speed = (4145 - 4pressure) / 3

any ideas maybe???? i need wind speed on one side by itself....

v = 1306 \frac{2}{3} + 75 - 1\frac{2}{3} \cdot pressure = 1381\frac{2}{3} - 1\frac{2}{3}pressure
