Question 13 of 15
A canoe travels 6 miles per hour downstream and 2 miles per hour upstream.
Let x represent the canoe's speed with no water current (still water) and y
represent the speed of the water current, in miles per hour. Then the situation
can be represented by this system of equations:
Choose the two correct options.
x + y = 6
x - y = 2
A. The speed of the canoe in still water is 4 miles per hour.
B. The speed of the canoe in still water is 2 miles per hour.
C. The speed of the water current is 4 miles per hour.
D. The speed of the water current is 2 miles per hour.
