Algebra.Com's Answer #463561 by MathTherapy(10810) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Tony'a outboard can drive her boat at 7mph in still water. It takes her 10 minutes more to reach her friends camp 4 miles up the river than to return to her camp down river. What is the speed of the current?\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I have already asked this question on here before but got an incorrect answer.
