we have
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation
Factor the leading coefficient
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
Rewrite as perfect squares
-----> equation in vertex form
therefore
the answer is the option C
Is the same as the one you just did.
keep in mind that, going against the current, the current's speed erodes speed from your regular speed, whilst if you're going with the current, the current's speed adds to it.
now, in this case, you row 5mph, going upstream you're only doing 3mph, whatever happened to the other 2mph? well, the current speed eroded them, meaning the speed of the river is 2mph.
now, going downstream with the current, your regular speed is 5mph, and the current is 2mph, since the current adds to yours, then you're going 5 + 2, mph.
