It takes a ship 3 hours to cover 72 km with the current and 4 hours against the current. Find the speed of the ship in still water and the speed of the current.

Well I had this problem for homework and the correct answers are the current is 3km/h and the speed of the ship is 21 km/h.

You are here too

ya that is correct

answer is 21 is speed of ship and 3 is speed of current

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAH

s + c = 72 / 3

s - c = 72 / 4

add the equations (to eliminate c)

solve for s

substitute back to find c

hello hello
