Answer:

  20 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the speed of the boat in km/h. Then the distance covered is ...

  distance = speed × time

  (b -2)(11) = (b +2)(9)

  11b -22 = 9b +18 . . eliminate parentheses

  2b = 40 . . . . . . . . add 22-9b

  b = 20 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The speed of the boat is 20 km/h.
