Solve Problems Using Linear Systems
7.It took a patrol boat 5h to travel 60 km up a river against the current and 3h for the retunr trip with the current. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.

D=RT OR D/T=R
60/5=12 KM/H IS THE SPEED OF THE BOAT AGAINST THE CURRENT.
60/3=20 KM/H IS THE SPPED OF THE BOAT WITH THE CURRENT.
(20-12)/2=8/2=4 KM/H IS THE SPEED OF THE CURRENT.
12+4=16 KM/H IS THE SPEED OF THE BOAT IN STILL WATER.
20-4=16 KM/H DITTO.
