I believe it is 4.5mph because traveling upstream and the stream moves at a speed of 4mph would knock off 4 of the original number so if you add 4miles to the given 5 miles you get 9

The same is with the boat going downstream it is adding 4 miles to the original number so you subtract 13 and 4 and you get 9

If it took 2 hours to do that then you divide 9 by 2 and get 4.5

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP!!!
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 4  

hey, I am not 100% sure of the certainty of my answers, I am using what I remember about that topic but I do not know if it is right or wrong, I hope I have helped you, I did what I could.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 2y = 23

5x + 2y = -17

X solution:

(you cancel the y)

-3x = 23

5x = -17

(you combine all the values above with those below)

2x = 6

(solve the ecuation normaly)

x = 6/2 = 3

Y solution:

(you replace the x)

-3(3) + 2y = 23

5(3) + 2y = -17

-9 + 2y = 23

15 + 2y = -17

(you combine all the values above with those below)

6 + 4y = 6

(solve the ecuation normaly)

4y = 0

y = 4  

(I do not really know if the answer here is 0 or 4 since when passing the 4 to divide it would be 0/4 and I do not understand very well how that is solved)
