If a boat goes down stream 72 milesind upstream 60 miles in 6 hours, the rate of the river and the rate of the boat in still wat
andre [41]

Answer:

Speed of boat in still water = 11 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = distance / time

or

Distance= Speed * time

Let s be speed of the boat upstream and r be the speed of the river.

Then

Upstream speed=  s- r = 60/6= 10 miles per hour

Downstream speed= s+r= 72/6= 12 miles per hour

Therefore

s-r= 10--------- equation A

s+r= 12--------- equation B

Adding equation A and Eq. b

s-r= 10--------- equation A

<u>s+r= 12--------- equation B     </u>

<u>2s    = 22                             </u>

<u />

or

s= 22/2= 11 miles per hour.

Speed of boat in still water = 11 miles per hour.

Can please someone help me out and explain it step by step. Thank you
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:x=7, \ y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Equations are 3x-y=23 and 2x+3y=8

take 3x-y=23

y=3x-23

Put the value of y in another equation

\Rightarrow 2x+3(3x-23)=8\\\Rightarrow 2x+9x-69=8\\\Rightarrow 11x=77\\\Rightarrow x=7

Put the value of x in y

y=3(7)-23=21-23=-2

Hence, x=7, \ y=-2
