Algebra.Com's Answer #194162 by oberobic(2304)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! S = speed of the boat in calm water \n" ); document.write( "C = current of a river flowing downstream\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "R = rate of the boat going upstream against the current, \n" ); document.write( "so the current 'C' must be subtracted from the boar's speed 'S'\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "R = S - C \n" ); document.write( " |
