Answer:

5 or 6

Step-by-step explanation:

So I did it in a different way than shown in rsm classes. I said that the speed was x-2 and x.

then I said the distance was 6 and 15. If the time taken was 1 hour more, then we can come up with this equation:

Since the time is 6/x-2 or 15/x

15/x-6/x-2=1

multiply everything to get a common denominator then cancel it out to get

(15x-30)-6x=x^2-2x

11x-30=x^2

x^2-11x+30=0

(x-5)(x-6) is factored form.

so x=5 or x=6. this means that the speed of the boat is either 5km/h or 6 km/h
