Answer:
Speed of boat in still water = 64 km/hr
Speed of the current = 11 km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed of motorboat in still water = x km/hr
Let the speed of current = y km/hr
Motorboat travels 371 km in 7 hours going upstream.
Speed of motorboat while going upstream = speed of motorboat in still water - speed of current = (x-y)
=> ![\[x-y = \frac{371}{7}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5Bx-y%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B371%7D%7B7%7D%5C%5D)
=>
------------------------------(1)
Motorboat travels 525 km in 7 hours going downstream.
Speed of motorboat while going downstream = speed of motorboat in still water + speed of current = (x+y)
=> ![\[x+y = \frac{525}{7}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5Bx%2By%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B525%7D%7B7%7D%5C%5D)
=>
-----------------------------(2)
Solving for x and y from (1) and (2):
Adding (1) and (2):
2x = 128
=> x = 64
Substituting the value of x in (1), y = 11
The first set of parentheses is unnecessary, so just drop it.
The second set of parentheses has a negative sign to its left.
To simplify the second set of parentheses, change every sign inside the parentheses. Then combine like terms.

= - x - 2 - 4x - 3
= -x - 4x - 2 - 3
= -5x - 5

Answer:
78 adult tickets were sold
2x + x = 234
3x = 234
x = 78
