First, distribute -3 to (-2x-8). The expression becomes:
(6x+24)-(-5x+6)

Next, distribute -1 to (-5x+6). You get:
(6x+24)+(5x-6)

Now, combine like terms.
6x+5x=11x
24-6=18

The final answer is 11x+18

Traveling with the current, a boat covers a distance 1.5 times greater than traveling against the current in the same amount of

jeka94

Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.

b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c

The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph
