Question

P+19)-(24+q) P+19-25-q=P-6-q=...
At its usual rowing rate, a boat
can travel 18 km downstream
in 4 hours less than it takes
to travel the same distance
upstream. But if the usual
rowing rate for his 28-km round
trip was 2/3rd, the downstream
14 km would then take 12
hours less than the upstream
14 km. What is the speed of the
current?

At its usual rowing rate, a boat

can travel 18 km downstream

rowing rate for his 28-km round

trip was 2/3rd, the downstream
