Answer:

10 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of boat in still water = x

speed of current = 5

speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5

speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5

distance downstream = 9

distance upstream = 3

time = t

speed = distance/time

distance = speed × time

downstream:

9 = (x + 5)t

upstream:

3 = (x - 5)t

9 = xt + 5t

3 = xt - 5t

9 = xt + 5t

-3 = -xt + 5t

-----------------

6 = 10t

t = 0.6

9 = (x + 5)0.6

15 = x + 5

x = 10

There is a thousand answer to this problem.

Let's do the simplest one here.

f(x) or y = x - 1

f(x) or y = x + 1

f(x) or y = -x

Wait, would this count as a solution? : See the second attachment

Boxers = b
Spaniels = s

b=s*4
s+b=30

Now you have two equations - one that tells you the number of boxers in relation to spaniels and one telling you the number of each breed in relation to the total number of dogs. Solve using substitution.

s+(4*s)=30 \\ 4s+s=30 \\ 5s=30 \\ s=6

There are 6 spaniels.
