1/2x + 3 = 2/3x + 1....multiply everything by the common denominator of 6
3x + 18 = 4x + 6
3x - 4x = 6 - 18
-x = - 12
x = 12 <====
multiplying by the common denominator will get rid of the fractions

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.
So, in the total journey, he has a speed of (x + 4) mph.
Therefore,
⇒ x + 4 = 8
⇒ x = 4 mph.
Therefore, the speed with which Ryan was rowing was 4 mph. (Answer)
