Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

If B is the rate of the boat, and C is the rate of the current, then we can write two equations:

18 = (B + C) × 3

18 = (B − C) × 9

Simplifying the equations:

6 = B + C

2 = B − C

Add the equations together to eliminate C:

8 = 2B

B = 4

Plug into either equation to find C:

C = 2

The boat's rate is 4 mph, and the current's rate is 2 mph.
