Add the things in the bracket first so
2+2 = 4
then you do the 8 ÷ 2 = 4
then you multiply them together. this is because the number next to the bracket has a hidden multiply sign so
4 x 4 = 16
answer is 16
Let speed of the boat in still water = x miles per hour
Let speed of the current = y miles per hour
When water and current both flow in same direction then effective speed will be sum of both speeds that is (x+y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x+y)=160/8
or x+y=20...(i)
When water and current both flow in opposite direction then effective speed will be difference of both speeds that is (x-y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x-y)=160/40
or x-y=4
or x=4+y...(ii)
plug value of x into (i)
4+y+y=20
4+2y=20
2y=16
y=8
plug value of y into (ii)
x=4+8=12
Hence final answer is given by:
Speed of the boat in still water = 12 miles per hour
Speed of the current = 8 miles per hour

i hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
The only 'small number' that I know that would affect the answer is an exponent that looks like ³ so the problem would be x³+x
remember that x³=x times x times x
if x=3 then
3³+3=27+3=30
