Answer:
The speed with which Ryan was rowing was 4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
With a small boat, Ryan wants to row towards an island and come back at a speed of x mph and the island is 20 miles away from him.
Therefore, total 20 + 20 = 40 miles he rowed for 5 hours.
On the way to the island, there was a wind of 4 mph in the direction of his motion and on the way back also there was a wind of 4 mph in the direction of his motion.
