Going upstream: 432 km / 6 hours = 72 km/h
Going downstream: 384 km / 4 hours = 96 km/h
Going upstream against the current means that the effective speed is:
r_boat - r_current = 72
Meanwhile, going downstream with the current means;
r_boat + r_current = 96
Adding both equations (to cancel out r_current) gives:
2r_boat = 72 + 96
r_boat = 84 km/h
Substituting back into one of the original equations: r_current = 12 km/h.

<span>y = -1/2x +2 1/2</span>
General equation;
y = mx + c

Calculating the slope;
Change in y/ (change in x) = gradient m

(2-1)/(1-3) = - 1/2

Replacing m gives;
y= -1/2x + c

Calculating the value of c
take point (1,2) above and replace y with 2 and x with 1
2=-1/2 *1 +c
c = 2 1/2
Equation then is 
y = -1/2x +2 1/2

Using elimination, we add the equations, but this time from left to right. This process wants to elimination a variable. So 2x plus -2x equals 0. Moving on the next variable, 6y plus -y is 5y. On to the last variable, 18 plus 12 is 30. So we have this equation, 5y=30. 30/5 is 6, so y=6. We plug 6 into y in one of the equations you choose. In this case, I'm going to use the first equation. Plugging 6, we have this equation, 2x plus 36 is 18. 18-36 is -18. We then have this equation, 2x=-18. We know -9 times 2 is -18, so our x value is -9, So, our y=6, and our x=-9.
