The speed of a boat in still water (b) is 50km/h. It takes the same time (t) for the boat to travel 10km (x) upstream as it does to travel 20km (y) downstream. Find the speed of the current.

upstream speed (u) = speed in still water (b) - stream speed (s) = b-s = 50-s

downstream speed (d) = speed in still water (b) + stream speed (s) = 50+s

time (t) = x/u = y/d

10/(50-s) = 20/(50+s)

10(50+s) = 20(50-s)

500 + 10s = 1000 - 20s

30s = 500

stream speed (s) = 500/30 = 16.6 km/h

Simplify the expression x8 y-26/x14 y-5 X x-39 y-21.

KonstantinChe [14]

$\frac{x^8y^{-26}}{x^{14}y^{-5}}[x^{-36}y^{-21}]$

We will apply these following power rule

$x^m*x^n = x^{m+n}$
$x^m/x^n=x^{m-n}$

$[ \frac{x^8}{x^{14}}][ \frac{y^{-26}}{y^{-5}}][x^{-39}y^{-21}]$
$[x^{8-14}][y^{-26-5}][x^{-39}y^{-21}]$
$x^{-6}y^{-21}[x^{-39}y^{-21}]$
$[x^{-6-39}][y^{-21-21}]$
$x^{-45}y^{-42}$
