P+(2p-250)=2858  where p equals East High School's population
simplify (combine like terms)
3p-250=2858
add 250 to each side of the equation
3p=3108
divide each side by 3
p=1036
1036 students attend East High School.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Let the current speed be "c";

Then the boat speed in still wate is "5c":

-----------------------

Upstream speed:

distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c-c = 4c mph ; time = 12/4c = 3/c hrs

---------------------------

Downstream speed:

distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c+c = 6c mph ; time = 12/6c = 2/c hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

time + time = 2 1/2 hrs

3/c + 2/c = 5/2

Multiply thru by 2c to get:

6 + 4 = 5c

c = 2 mph (speed of the current)

5c = 10 mph (speed of the boat in still water)
