x - boat speed; y - current speed; Path = 336:2 = 168 miles
1) 12 * (x + y) = 168; -> x + y = 14;
2) 14 * (x - y) = 168; -> x - y = 12;
1) x = 14 - y;
2) (14 - y) - y = 12;
14 - 2y = 12;
2y = 2;
y = 1 mph
x = 14 - 1 = 13 mph
Answer:
Boat speed = 13 mph
Current speed = 1 mph
- 3

Given :
A 136 foot tall cell phone tower casts a 79.9 foot shadow.
To Find :
The shadow length for a nearby 40 foot telephone pole .
Solution :
We know , the ratio of height and shadow , will be same for every object .
Let , length of shadow of pole is x .
So ,

Therefore , the length of shadow of tower is 23.5 foot .
Hence , this is the required solution .

There may be an error with the first answer choice because it can't have a negative. The problem is x + 2.6 = 3.5 correct?
Hope this helps!
