Answer:

x=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y= -2

and

4x+y= -8 so...

2x+y= -2 = 4x+y= -8

2x+4x= 6x

y+y=2y

-2+-8= -10

6x+2y= -10

2y- -10= 12

6x=12

6/12=0.5

x=0.5

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\sf \text{The rate of the boat is } 53 \ km/h \text{, the rate of the current is }8\ km/h \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's note v the rate of the boat and r the rate of the current. We can write the following

$\dfrac{135}{v-r}=3=\dfrac{183}{v+r}$

It means that

$135(v+r)=183(v-r)\\\\135 v + 135r=183v-183r\\\\\text{ *** We regroup the terms in v on the right and the ones in r to the left***}\\\\(135+183)r=(183-135)v\\\\318r=48v\\\\\text{ *** We divide by 48 both sides ***}\\\\\boxed{v = \dfrac{318}{48} \cdot r= \dfrac{159}{24} \cdot r}$
