Question 717980: word problem: Malik canoed against the current for 2 hours and then with the current for one hour before resting. Julio traveled against the current for 2.5 hours, and with the current for 1.5 miles. They traveled 9.5 miles against the current, and 20.5 miles with the current. The current is 3 miles per hour. How fast do they travel in still water. I can not figure out how to write the system of equations to solve this.
