Let the speed of the current be x mi/hr
speed upstream=(12-x) mi/hr
speed downstream=(12+x) mi/hr
It takes 3 hours longer to travel upstream than downstream, thus
time taken upstream=68/(12-x)
time taken to travel downstream=68/(12+x)
the difference in time will be:
68/(12-x)-68/(12+x)=3
solving for x we get:
x=2.98 mi/hr

Thus the rate of current is 2.98 mi/hr

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A is not, because 2-5x = -5x+2

(nothing has changed but the order)

B is not, because 3-5+2x = 2x-2

because 3-5 = -2. so -2+2x can be rewritten as 2x-2.

C is not, because 5x-2x = 3x

because you combine like terms, and 5-2 is 3

D <em>i</em><em>s</em><em>,</em> because 2x-2+3x = 5x-2

because you combine like terms (2x+3x=5x) and -2 is left.
