D=rt

c=speed of current
r=speed in still water
t=time
d=72

72=3(r+c)
72=4(r-c)
expand
divide top equation by 3 and bottom by 4

24=r+c
18=r-c
add them equations

42=2r+0c
42=2r
divide both sides by 2
21=r

sub back

18=r-c
18=21-c
minus 21 both sides
-3=-c
3=c

speed of current is 3
speed of ship is 21

Your math teacher tells you that the next test is worth 100 points and contains 38 problems. Multiple-choice questions are worth
rusak2 [61]
If we assume that
x isthe number of multiple choice questions, and y is the number of word problems, we can write a system of equations like:
{ x + y = 38
{ 2x + 5y = 100

If we multiply the first equation by -2 we get:
{ -2x-2y = -76
{ 2x + 5y = 100

Now if we add both equations we get only equation with 1 unknown (y) :

3y = 24 ⇒ y = 8

Substituting the calculated value to the first equation we get:

x + 8 = 38 ⇒ x = 30

The solution:
{ x = 30
{ y = 8

means that:
The test had 30 multiple choice questions, and 8 word problems.
