Answer:
21.7
Step-by-step explanation:
divide
Let the boat speed in still water be b.
Let the current speed be c.
The speed going upstream is 20/4 = 5 mph.
The speed going downstream is 32/4 = 8 mph.
b - c = 5 ........(1)
b + c = 8 .......(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2) we get:
2b = 13
b = 13/2 = 6.5
Plugging in the value for b into equation (1) we find c = 1.5.
The boat speed in still water is 6.5 mph and the current speed is 1.5 mph.
-12 + 3x + 2 = 5x - 10 - 8x
-10 + 3x = -3x -10
-10 + 6x = -10
6x = 0
x = 0
