Answer:
The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.
The speed of the current is 2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.
Let y represent the speed of the current.
When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that
x - y = 16 (equation 1)
Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that
x + y = 20 (equation 2)
Adding both equations, it becomes
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18 mph
Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes
18 - y = 16
y = 18 - 16
y = 2 mph
I suspect this is what you mean, if let me know
2x(3)^2+x(2)^2
2(3)(9)+3(4)
54+12=66

The equation of an ellipse is x²/a² + y²/b² =1
a being the distance between the center & x intercept =7
b being the distance between the center & y intercept =5
Hence the equation of this ellipse is:
x²/49 + y²/25 =1
