Going against the current, a boat takes 6 hours to make a 120-mile trip. When the boat travels with the current on the return trip, it takes 5 hours.

If x = the rate of the boat in still water and y = the rate of the current, write an expression that represents the rate of the boat going with the current.

If x = the rate of the boat in still water and y = the rate of the current, then the combined rate is \(x+y\)

Answer 2

So what's the anwser?
