A boat has a speed of 15 mph in still water. It travels downstream from Greentown to Glenavon in g hours. It then goes back upst ream from Glenavon to Cambria, which is 2 miles downstream from Greentown, in g hours. Find the rate of the current.
I would really appreciate any help provided for this problem, please show your steps, and I'll mark you brainliest :)

Answer:
The distance from Greentown to Glenavon is D1 = g*(15+x) miles downstream.
The distance from Glenavon to Cambria is D2 = g*(15-x) miles upstream.
The difference D1 - D2 is 2 miles, according to the condition.
It gives you an equation g*(15+x) - g*(15-x) = 2, which you can easily solve and find "x", the rate of the current. x = 1/g miles per hour.

Answer:
x=5
y=12
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation is
12x-5+125=180
12x+120=180
12x=60
x=5
According to the question
8y+29=125
8y=96
y=12
Mean: 74
It is the division property because x or 1x is dividing the 10
A number pattern would be something that just gets repeated over and over
