Let
x--------> <span>the speed of the boat in mph

we know that
</span>going upstream the speed is x-7 
<span>going downstream the speed is x+7 
</span>
let the distance be d 
<span>time to go upstream = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>time to go downstream = d/(x+7)
</span>
time going upstream is 3 times going downstream 
so
<span>3d/(x+7) = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>divide by d </span>
<span>3/(x+7) = 1/(x-7) </span>
<span>3x-21 = x+7 </span>
<span>2x = 28 </span>
<span>x = 14 
</span>
the answer is
<span>the speed of the boat in still water is 14 mph</span>

Line NM is 9 and the measure of angle MLN is 58 degrees. This is because both triangles are equal in length, size, and angle measures. The triangle to the right is just rotated and reflected.
