He rows upstream for two hours \n" ); document.write( "and returns in one hour and twelve minutes. Find the rate of the current. \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "c = rate of current \n" ); document.write( "d = distance \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "d = (12 - c)*2 = (12 + c)*1.2 \n" ); document.write( "Solve for c \n" ); document.write( "==================== \n" ); document.write( "Solve for d, too. \n" ); document.write( " |
