Lindsay is planning a flight from St. Catharines to Hamilton, which lies due west of St. Catharines. Her aircraft flies at a speed of 200 km/h in still air. A wind of 50.0 km/h is blowing from [W 608 N]. In what direction must sheaim the airplane to fly directly to Hamilton?

It's a triangle problem.

The long side is the 200 km/hr, at an angle to be determined.

1 side is 50 km/hr at an angle of -60 degs or 300 degs.

The 3rd side's length is not known, but it's at an angle of 180 degs (along the x-axis).
