Answer: S = 20 lbs L = 45 lbs. Both answer have been rounded from below
Step-by-step explanation:
L+S = 65 lbs
55L + 65S = 3774 lbs
55L+55S = (65)(55) = 3,575 lbs
10S = 199 lbs
S = 19.99 (round to 20)
L + S = 65
L + 19.99 = 65
L = 45.01 (round to 45)
I don't like these computer choice thingies. It detracts from the math.
If we want to eliminate x we multiply the first equation by 5 then add it to the second:
OK, that's how it's done. Reading through the choices, that's choice D.

Answer:
- boat: 48 km/h
- current: 14 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
The upstream speed is ...
u = (204 km)/(6 h) = 34 km/h
The downstream speed is ...
d = (372 km)/(6 h) = 62 km/h
The speed of the boat in still water is the average of these values:
b = (34 kph +62 kph)/2 = 48 kph
The speed of the water is the difference between the boat's speed and the speed made good:
w = 48 -34 = 14 . . . km/h
The rate of the boat in still water is 48 km/h. The rate of the current is 14 km/h.
