Answer:

  • 24 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The speed of the boat  in the lake = x
  • The speed of the current = 3 km/h

<u>Required equation:</u>

  • 54 / (x + 3) + 42 / (x - 3) = 96/x
  • 9x(x - 3) + 7x(x + 3) = 16(x + 3)(x - 3)
  • 9x² - 27x + 7x² + 21x = 16x² - 144
  • 6x = 144
  • x = 144/6
  • x = 24 km/h
