Answer:

2\text{ mph}

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: kayden paddled a canoe to an island. the island is 8 miles from the shore. his trip to the island took two hours while paddling against the current. he paddles 6 mph with no current.

TO FIND: what was the speed of the current.

SOLUTION:

distance of island from the shore =8 miles

total time taken by Kayden =2 hours

speed of Kayden in still water =6\text{ mph}

Let the speed of current be x

Speed of Kayden against current =6-x\text{ mph}

As,

\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{speed}}

2=\frac{8}{6-x}

12-2x=8

x=2\text{ mph}

Hence speed of current is 2\text{ mph}

5x + 2y = 3<br> 2x+3y=-1<br> Solve
professor190 [17]

Answer:

x = 1

y = -1

Point = (1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = -1   =   y = -2/3 - 1/3

5x + 2(-2/3 - 1/3) = 3

5x - 1 1/3 - 2/3 = 3

5x - 2 = 3

<u>     +2    +2</u>

5x = 5

<em><u>x = 1</u></em>

2(1) + 3y = -1

2 + 3y = -1

<u>-2           -2</u>

3y = -3

<em><u>y = -1</u></em>
