Jason is on one side of a river 2 miles from the nearest point on the opposite shoreline. With a rowboat, he wants to reach a house 6 miles farther down the shore on the opposite shoreline. If Jason can row at a rate of 3mph and can walk at a rate of 5mph, find the least amount of time required to reach the house. I am trying to find the best spot to land that will minimize time. I think I'm setting it up correctly, but then get stuck.
