rowing boat speed x mph with no current
\n" ); document.write( "current speed 6 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "against current x - 6 mph
\n" ); document.write( "with current x + 6 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Distance against current 10
\n" ); document.write( "Distance with current 60
\n" ); document.write( "Time = same equate the time against with time with current
\n" ); document.write( "t=d/r
\n" ); document.write( "10 /(x- 6 )= 60 /(x+ 6 )
\n" ); document.write( "10 *(x+ 6 )= 60 *(x- 6 )
\n" ); document.write( "10 x + 60 = 60 x -360
\n" ); document.write( "10 x -60 x = -360 + -60
\n" ); document.write( "-50 x = -420
\n" ); document.write( "/ -50
\n" ); document.write( " x= 8.4 mph
