In his motor boat, a man can go downstream in 1 hour less time than he can go up stream the same distance. If the current is 5mph, how fast can he travel in still water if it takes him 2 hours to travel upstream the given distance? Answer: x = Solution: R: RATE TIME DISTANCE DOWN UP x+ 5 1 x + 5 x - 5 2x - 10 E: x + 5 = 2x 10 S: Solve for x. A: x = - C: x + 5 = 2x – 10 Answer : MOTION PROBLEM In his motor boat, a man can go downstream in 1 hour less time than he can go up stream the same distance. If the current is 5mph, how fast can he travel in still water if it Answer: x = [a] takes him 2 hours to travel upstream the given distance?
