let x be the speed of boat, y be the speed of stream Alicia can row 6 miles downstream in the same time it takes her to row 4 miles upstream. => 6/(x+y) = 4(x-y).............equation #1 She rows downstream 3 miles/hour faster than she rows upstream. =>(x+y)-(x-y) = 3 => y = 1.5................#2 solving, x = 7.5 so, x+y = 9 x-y = 6 D- 9 mi/h downstream, 6 mi/h upstream 12. let x be the speed of boat Every day, his route takes him 22.5 miles against the current and back to his dock, and he needs to make this trip in a total of 9 hours => 22.5/(x+6) + 22.5/(x-6) = 9 solving x = 9 mph
