Answer:

  4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed downstream is (28 mi)/(2 h) = 14 mph.

The speed upstream is (18 mi)/(3 h) = 6 mph.

The speed of the current is half the difference of these:

  (14 mph -6 mph)/2 = 4 mph

_____

The current adds to the downstream speed and subtracts from the upstream speed, so the difference of those speeds is twice the current's speed.

∠F and ∠G are supplementary angles. If m∠F is two less than six times the measure of ∠G, find the measures of both angles
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

∠ G = 26°, ∠ F = 154°

Step-by-step explanation:

Express ∠ F in terms of ∠ G, that is

F = 6G - 2

and since the angles are supplementary, then

G + 6G - 2 = 180, that is

7G - 2 = 180 ( add 2 to both sides )

7G = 182 ( divide both sides by 7 )

G = 26

Thus

∠ G = 26° and ∠ F = 6(26) - 2 = 156 - 2 = 154°
