Answer:
C. Positive 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.
let's say the boat has a still water rate of "b", and the current has a a rate of "c", ok.... when the boat is going upstream, is not really going "b" fast, is going slower at "b - c", due to the current going in the opposite direction.
when the boat is coming downstream, is not going "b" fast either, is going faster, is going "b + c", due to the current adding speed to it.
we know the trip up was 108 kms, thus the return trip is also 108 kms.

and surely you know how much that is.
what's the boat's speed? well, 36 + c = b.
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First set up the problem like this:
14x-17 = 8x + 1
Now we subtract 14x from each side. This leaves us with:
-17 = 6x+1
Now we need subtract 1 from each side, leaving us with:
-18 = -6x
And now we divide each side by 6x, leaving us with.
3 = x.
And if you insert three into both of the equations, it will result in 25.
(Hope this helped!)
17 is the correct answer.
Seven thousand two hundred thirty one divided by twenty-four
