X miles per hour - <span> speed of the boat in still water
(x - 2) - speed up the river
(x + 2) - speed down the river
</span>

=

30 * (x + 2) = 38 * (x - 2)
30x + 60 = 38x - 76
- 8x = - 136
x =
17 miles per hour - <span>

Answer:
swordfish
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph shows the marlin travels 50 miles in 1 hour, and 150 miles in 3 hours. These numbers can be compared directly to those given for the tuna (43.5 miles in 1 hour) and the wahoo fish (144 miles in 3 hours).
The speeds of the swordfish and shark are the coefficients of x in their respective equations. The swordfish travels 60 mph, so is faster than the marlin. The shark travels 31 mph, so is slower.
