Answer: The equations are

6x - 6y = 9

4x + 4y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the row boat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

Dana can travel 9 miles in her rowboat in 6 hours against the current. This means that the total speed at which she travelled is

(x - y) miles per hour.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled against the current is expressed as

9 = 6(x - y)

6x - 6y = 9

With the current, it takes 4 hours to row the same distance. This means that the total speed at which she travelled is

(x + y) miles per hour.

Distance travelled with the current is expressed as

9 = 4(x + y)

4x + 4y = 9
