Question 807021
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Distance equals rate times time so distance divided by time is rate.  Total speed downstream is *[tex \Large r_s\ +\ r_c] and total speed upstream is *[tex \Large r_s\ -\ r_c] where *[tex \Large r_s] is speed in still water and *[tex \Large r_c] is the speed of the current.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r_s\ -\ r_c\ =\ \frac{420}{12}\ =\ 35]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r_s\ +\ r_c\ =\ \frac{330}{6}\ =\ 55]


Both values in feet per minute.  Solve the 2X2 system for *[tex \Large r_s] and *[tex \Large r_c]
