Downstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles 
time = 2 hours 
rate = 12/2 = 6 mph
----------------
Upstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles 
time = 4 hrs 
rate = 12/4 = 3 mph
----
Equations:
Downstream: b + c = 6
Upstream::: b - c = 3
------
Add to get:
2b = 9
b = 4.5 mph (speed of the boat in still water.)
-----
Solve for "c":
b + c = 6
4.5 + c = 6
c = 1.5 mph (speed of the current)
The answer is 1.5 mph
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:Let the number be x, then (x - 9)^2 = x - 3
x^2 - 18x + 81 = x - 3
x^2 - 19x + 84 = 0
(x - 12)(x - 7) = 0
x = 12 or 7

Answer:
 158 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Surface area</u>
A = 2·(l·w + l·h + w·h)
= 2·(3in·8in + 8in·5in + 3in·5in)
= 2·(24in² + 40in² + 15in²)
= 2·(79in²)
= 158 in²
