A boat traveled 210 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 10 hours. The trip back took 70 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water? What is the speed of the current?

Solve by substitution

Y = 2x + 3Y = 4x - 1

Solve by eliminationchallenge5x = 2y – 153x + 3y = 12

A boat traveled 336 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 12 hours. The trip back took 14 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water? What is the speed of the current?

Solve by graphing

2y – 4x = 2Y = 2x - 4

Solve by substitution

2x – y = -4-3x + y = -9

A farmhouse shelters 11 animals. Some are goats and some are ducks. Altogether there are 34 legs. How many of each animal are there?

Solve by substitution

X = 2x –y = 6

Solve by substitution

8x + 2y = 134x + y = 11
