R=rate of boat in still water
c=rate of current
d=rt
since you're given that the time it takes to travel the same distance downstream and upstream, your equation will be d_1=d_2, or rt=rt
the rate upstream is r-c and the rate downstream is r+c (because the boat's and river's rates add up)
since you know t_1 and t_1 are 5 and 3, you can now set up 2 equations
<u>5*(r-c)=45</u> because (time upstream)*(rate upstream)=distance=45 miles
r-c=45/5=9
<u>3*(r+c)=45</u>
r+c=45/3=15
r-c=9 and r+c=15, so r=12 mi/h and c=3 mi/h

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
4x + 11 = k
Reorder the terms:
11 + 4x = k
Solving
11 + 4x = k
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-11' to each side of the equation.
11 + -11 + 4x = -11 + k
Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0
0 + 4x = -11 + k
4x = -11 + k
Divide each side by '4'.
x = -2.75 + 0.25k
Simplifying
x = -2.75 + 0.25k
