Answer: average speed is 8 km/h

Step-by-step explanation: in upstream his speed is 9 km/h -3km/h.

So his speed is 6km/h and he needs time t= s/v= 1.5 km: 6 km/h = 0.25 h

Downstream his speed is 9 km/ + 3km/h = 12km/h and time is

1.5 km:12km/h= 1/8 hours= 0.125 h

Average speed v = s/t = 3km: (0.25 + 0.125 ) h = 8 km/h

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rowing against the current, he travels 9-3 = 6 km/h.

1.5 km × (1 h)/(6 km) = ¼ h

It takes him ¼ h to row 1.5 km upstream.

Rowing with the current, he travels 9+3 = 12 km/h.

1.5 km × (1 h)/(12 km) = ⅛ h

It takes him ⅛ h to row 1.5 km downstream.

Average speed = (3 km)/(¼+⅛ h) = 8 km/h

Create 2 equations for the given problem

12s + 44c = 42
44s + 12c = 30

Take either equation and solve for either s or c.
12s + 44c = 42
12s = 42 - 44c
s = (42 - 44c) / 12
s = (21 - 22c) / 6

Substitute into 2nd equation

44s + 12c = 30
22((21 - 22c) / 3) + 12c = 30
22(21 - 22c) + 36c = 90
-448c +462  = 90
-448c = -372
c = -372/-448
c = 93/112
c = 0.83

Substitute into the 2nd equation

44s + 12c = 30
44s = 30 - 12c
s = (30 - 12 (93/112)) / 44
s = (30 - 279 / 28) / 44)
s = (30 - 9 27/28) / 44
s = 0.46

Prove
12s + 44c = 42
12(0.46) + 44(0.83) = 42
5.52 + 36.52 = 42
42.04 = 42

44s + 12c = 30
44(0.46) + 12(0.83) = 30
20.24 + 9.96 = 30.16

Assuming minor rounding issues this looks accurate.
