Question 79051: To go to a campsite 12 miles away, you paddle a canoe against the current of a river for 4 hours. During your return trip you paddle with the current, and you travel the same distance in 3 hours. Write and solve a system of equations to find your paddling speed with the river's current, and against the river's current. Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! To go to a campsite 12 miles away, you paddle a canoe against the current of a river for 4 hours. During your return trip you paddle with the current, and you travel the same distance in 3 hours. Write and solve a system of equations to find your paddling speed with the river's current, and against the river's current.

:
you don't need an equation: speed = distance/time:
Against: 12/4 = 3 mph
:
With: 12/3 = 4 mph
