Let x be the speed of the boat in still water and y be the speed of the current of the river.
The downstream speed will be x+y, the upstream speed will be x-y.
but:
distance=speed*time
therefore; as the boat travels in 2 hours downstream we shall have:
2(x+y)=48......i
and as the boat travels upstream we shall have:
3(x-y)=48........ii
simplifying i and ii we get:
x+y=24....iii
x-y=16....iv
adding the above iii and iv we get
2x=40
x=40/2=20
substituting x=20 into iii we obtain:
20+y=24
y=24-20
y=4
so the speed of the boat in  still waters is 20 miles per hour
the rate of the stream is 4 miles per hour

Answer:

1.Assuming that your teacher is not an ars. ewith trick questions who wants you to solve this on an arbitrary point on a spherical surface:

2.The bearing of x from y is 070 and the bearing of z from y is 160, where x, y, and z are three points in the plane .if y is equidistant from x and z, find the bearing of z from x

2x+y=3<br>x-y= 1<br><br>solve the equation ​
svetlana [45]

Answer:

x = 4/3

y = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations! This is set up really well to make the second equation equal x then substitute.

x - y = 1

x = 1 + y

and then our substitution:

2 (1+y) + y = 3

and solve:

2 + 2y + y = 3

3y + 2 = 3

3y = 1

y = 1/3

And now we can substitute that value into one of our equations:

x - (1/3) = 1

x = 4/3

Next we should check by substituting these values into both of our equations:

2 (4/3) + (1/3) = 3

9 / 3 does equal 3 !

(4/3) - (1/3) does equal 1 !

Therefore, x = 4/3 , and y = 1/3
