Step-by-step explanation:
Distance = rate × time
If b is the speed of the boat in still water, and c is the speed of the current, then:
60 = (b + c) × 4
35 = (b − c) × 3.5
Simplifying:
15 = b + c
10 = b − c
Add the equations together:
25 = 2b
b = 12.5
Plug into either equation to find c:
c = 2.5
The speed of the boat is 12.5 km/h, and the speed of the current is 2.5 km/h.
There is no power of 4 that is to 0
