S1 = speed of boat 1

<span> t1 =  time to do 1400 meters (boat 1) </span>

S1*t1 = 1400

<span><span>S2  </span>= speed of boat 2 </span>

1400 + S2*t1 = X

t2 = time to do X + 600 (boat 2)

S1*t2 = X + 600

S2*t2 = 2X - 600

S1 = 1400/t1

S2 = (X-1400)/t1

<span>T = t2/t1  </span>

1400*T = X + 600

X*T - 1400*T = 2X - 600

X = 3600 meters

<span> River is 3600 meters wide</span>

Hello,
To exist x≠0

if x>0 then
x+2/x>=3==>x²+2>=3x
==>x²-3x+2>=0
==>(x-2)(x-1)>=0 positive out of the roots
==>  (x<=1 or x>=2) and x>0
==>(0<x<=1) or (x>=2)
else
x<0
x+2/x>=3==>x²+2<=3x
==>x²-3x+2<=0 negative betheen the roots
==>(1<=x<=2) and x<0 : no solution
end if
