Answer:

2.44706 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance = rate * time

Rate of boat + rate of current = 4mph

If rate of current = c ;

Downstream:

85 = 4t

Upstream :

52 = (4 - c)t

85/4 = 52/(4 - c)

85(4 - c) = 52 * 4

340 - 85c = 208

-85c = - 132

c = 132 / 85

c = 1.55294

Rate of boat in still water :

4 - c

4 - 1.55294

= 2.44706 mph

Erin writes the expression “ $6$ less than double a number.”
bixtya [17]

For this case we must algebraically rewrite the given expression. So:

x: It is the variable that represents an unknown number

"double a number" is represented as: 2x

"6 less than double a number" is represented as: 2x-6

So, the final expression is: 2x-6

If we want to rewrite the expression in an equivalent way, we take common factor 2:

2 (x-3)

Asnwer:

2x-6

Equivalent expression: 2 (x-3)
