IF the total trip took 7.5 hours‚ what is the speed of the current? Solve this question algebraically. Let x = speed of current Upstream speed=20+x Downstream speed=20-x =) 30/20-x + 30/20+x = 7/5 =) (20-x)(20+x) = 400-x^2 =) 30(20-x)+30(20+x)=7.5(400-x^2) =) 600-30x+600+30x=3000-7.5x^2 =) 7.5x^2 = 3000-1200
