A motorboat covers the distance from one pier to the other pier in 4 hours and the way back in 5 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water, if it covers 70 km with the current in 3.5 hours?

lol i hate russian math

speed of boat in still water ---- x km/h

speed of current ------ y km/h

distance with the current = 4(x+y)
distance against the current = 5(x-y)

we know that 3.5(x+y) = 70
x+y = 20

but 4(x+y) = 4(20) = 80
then 5(x-y) = 80
x-y = 16

x+y=20
x-y=16
add them
2x = 36
x = 18 , then y = 2

state the conclusion

BAHAHA NOT EVERYONE HERE BC OF RSM-

lol rsm is kinda lowkey trash ngl

18

why is everyone that goes to rsm toxic except for like 3 kids, and two of those three are the class tryhards that no one likes
