Sagot :

Answer: 7 miles/h and 1 miles/h

Step-by-step explanation:

With the speed of current = x + 1

Against the speed of current = x - 1

ATQ

4(x-1) = 3(x+1)

4x-4 = 3x+3

4x - 3x = 3+4

x = 7

Speed of boat = 7miles/h

Current of river = 1 miles/h

Answer:

Hello,

Boat speed=7 miles/h

Current speed = 1 mile/h

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to try to explain.

Let say V the speed of the boot (V like vitesse in french)

Let say v the speed of the current.

distance=24 miles

[tex]\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}V-v&=&\dfrac{24}{4} \\V+v&=&\dfrac{24}{3} \\\end{array}\right.\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}V-v&=&6 \\V+v&=&8 \\\end{array}\right.\\\\Adding\ the\ 2\ equations\ and\ substracting\ them \\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2V&=&14 \\2v&=&2 \\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}V&=&7 \\v&=&1 \\\end{array}\right.\\\\[/tex]

Boat speed=7 miles/h

Current speed = 1 mile/h
