Solve for the two velocities:
with the current = 48/6 = 8 mph
against the current = 48/8 = 6 mph
bv= boat velocity in still water
cv = current velocity
A) bv -cv = 6mph
B) bv + cv = 8mph
Adding both equations
2 * bv = 14 mph
boat velocity = 7 mph
current velocity = 1 mph

What are the solutions of the quadratic equation?
Cloud [144]
We have x^2 + 2 · x · (11/2) + (11/2)^2  = - 24 + (11/2)^2;
Then, ( x + 11/2 )^2 = -24 + 121/4;
( x + 11/2 )^2 + 96/4 - 121/4 = 0;
( x + 11/2 )^2 - 25 / 4 = 0;
( x + 11/2 )^2 - (5/2)^2 = 0;
( x + 11/2 - 5/2)·( x + 11/2 + 5/2 ) = 0;
( x + 6/2 )·( x + 16/2 ) = 0;
( x + 3 )· ( x + 8 ) = 0;
x = - 3 or x = -8;
The first choice is the correct answer.
