Step-by-step explanation:
Note.
Given question is not complete
Given:
Speed upstream = x
Time taken in upstream = 3.5 hour
Speed in return trip = (x+2)
Time taken in return trip = 2.5 hour
Computation:
Distance = speed × time
Distance = x (3.5)
Distance = 2.5 (x+2)
Distance = 2.5x + 5
So,
2.5x + 5 = 3.5 x
1.5 x = 5
x = 5 miles/hour
Distance = x (3.5)
Distance = 5 (3.5)
Distance = 17.5 miles
