Answer:

Boat = 20 mph

Current = 5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If b is the speed of the boat, and c is the speed of the current, then:

b + c = 225 / 9 = 25

b − c = 225 / 15 = 15

Solve the system of equations with elimination.

2b = 40

b = 20

Plug back into either equation to find the speed of the current.

c = 5
