If I understand it correctly, then I think you draw a tangent on the power vs airspeed curve in the same way as you normally calculate best range.
But rather than drawing the line from the origin, you draw it from -20kt.

Which would give a lower airspeed, and conversely a higher airspeed for a headwind from +20kt on the speed axis.
