In this item, we let x be the rate of the boat in still water and y be the rate of the current.

Upstream. When the boat is going upstream, the speed in still water is deducted by the speed of the current because the boat goes against the water. The distance covered is calculated by multiplying the number of hours and the speed.
                 (x - y)(3) = 144

Downstream. The speed of the boat going downstream is equal to x + y because the boat goes with the current.
                (x + y)(2) = 144

The system of linear equations we can use to solve for x is,
                  3x - 3y  = 144
                  2x + 2y = 144

We use either elimination or substitution.
 
We solve for the y of the first equation in terms of x,
                   y =  -(144 - 3x)/3

Substitute this to the second equation,
            2x + 2(-1)(144 - 3x)/3 = 144
The value of x from the equation is 60

<em>ANSWER: 60 km/h</em>

Answer:

1) a radio are uses by astronomy

2) 6 bilion waves

3) expert vertified

Explanation:

1) in contrast to an "ordinary" telescope, which receives visible light, a radio telescope "sees" radio waves emitted by radio sources, typically by means of a large parabolic ("dish") antenna, or arrays of them.and Radio telescopes are also the primary means to track space probes, and are used in the SETI project. so must been

radio are almostly

2) Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.

3)Expert Verified

Radio telescopes are telescopes that are specially designed for observation of long light wavelengths
