I'm sorry I'm too lazy to read all of that. However, I did get the main point. The river was going at 3 mph. Since he wanted to travel 10 miles upstream and downstream, you would have to subtract 20 by 3. This would mean he was going at a speed of 17 mph.
Hello,
Let a the first, b the second and c the third.
a+b+c=53
b=a/3
c=2a
==>a+a/3+2a=53
==>10a/3=53
==>a=15.9
c=2*a=2*15.9=31.8
b=a/3=15.9/3=5.3
Proof: a+b+c=15.9+5.3+31.8=53
The second number is 5.3
