Answer: 2mp
Step-by-step explanation: Let "b" represent the speed of the boat in still water
Let "c" represent the speed of the current
Let "t" represent time
Downstream(same direction) =(b+c)*t
Upstream(against current)=(b-c)*t
(b+c)*3=24
(b-c)*4=16
3b+3c=24....all sides can be divided by 3 =b+c=8
4b-4c=16.....all sides can be divided by 4 =b-c=4
Use Elimination method
b+c=8
b-c= 4 Subtracting
=====
2c=4
find c by dividing both sides by 2. c=2
if c=2, substitute to get b
b+2=8
-2=-2
======
b=6
Speed of boat in still water =6mph
rate of current=2mp

36 - (-20) = 56
SO the number that should be added to -20 to get the answer of 36 is 56.
