You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = speed of boat in still water
\n" ); document.write( "y = speed of current
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "s = d/t
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "downstream:
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 16/2
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "upstream:
\n" ); document.write( "x - y = 16/8
\n" ); document.write( "x - y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "put the system of linear equations into standard form
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "x - y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
