Homework Statement
An observer is moving to the right. A source is moving to the left. There is a wind moving to the right. What is the observed frequency?
I had a quiz and this came up. I'm not sure if I did it right.

f'=f(v±(vl-vw))/(v±(vs-vw))
The Attempt at a Solution
I just need to know if I add to the top, subtract from the bottom or the other way or what. I added to the bottom, subtracted from the top. Are you supposed to just add or subtract from the top and bottom? In class we said that if the two are stationary, wind doesn't make a bit of difference leading me to believe that you subtract or add from both bottom and top.
Any help? I've looked online and can't find an example with a moving source and observer and wind...
