Find the MPH of the boat when it goes upstream... 3h / 6m = 1h / 2m
So, 2mph
Speed of the boat - current = 2mph - > x - y = 2
Find the MPH of the boat going downstream... 3h / 18m = 1h / 6m
So, 6mph
x + y = 6
We now have a system of equation, let's solve it!

x - y = 2 -> x = y + 2
x + y = 6  - >  (y + 2) + y = 6  ->  2y + 2 = 6   ->   2y = 4    ->   y = 2
This is the speed of the current!
Subtitute y = 2 in the first equation:
x - 2 = 2
x = 4
This is the speed of the boat
Rate of the current = 2mph
Rate of the boat in still water = 4mph

What is the difference of the polynomials
yarga [219]

The correct answer is A.

In order to find the correct answer in this one, you have to group all of the like terms. In this case, each term is unique with the exception of the x^2y^3 terms. Therefore, we need to check those first.

4x^2y^3 - (-5x^2y^3)

4x^2y^3 + 5x^2y^3

9x^2y^3

Since this term is included, we look for answers that involve this one. A is the only one that does. Plus, it includes each other term unchanged (which is good since there are no other like terms). Therefore, A is your answer.
