Today is just one of those days where I really don't want to be seen. By anyone.

My mother just shrieked in the backyard...She shouted my name and I rushed to see what was wrong. I thought perhaps she had happened upon a snake, or maybe one of the pets had killed a bird...

No...no...the dog had chewed a crappy hairband my mother had given me because she didn't want it...

I freaking thought something was seriously wrong...:I

Life. Is. Average.

So last night I slept at a friend's house and now I don't know if her family likes me anymore... xD I just feel like I say the completely wrong things... Anyway. I don't really have much to say anymore.. Life is average.

Thank you to both people who answered me that was very helpful! And I was wondering if you could help me set up this problem into a system of equations as well? “A boat can travel 24 mi in 3 h when traveling with a curent. Against the same current, it can travel only 16 mi in 4 h. Find the rate of the current and the rate of the boat in still water.” Thanks again! c:

Noo problem!

This question is largely conceptual.

First of all, we want to get the speed in mi/hr of the boat when traveling towards or against the current.

Towards: 24 mi/3 hr = 8 mi/hr Against: 16 mi/4 hr = 4 mi/hr

Now, we know that the velocity of the boat with the current would be:

Vboat + Vcurrent = Vwithcurrent

Similarly, the velocity of the boat against the current would be:

Vboat - Vcurrent = Vnotcurrent

Thus, we can set up the system of equations by replacing those variables with our known velocities.

Vboat + Vcurrent = Vwithcurrent --> Vboat + Vcurrent = 8 mi/hr Vboat - Vcurrent = Vnotcurrent --> Vboat - Vcurrent = 4 mi/hr

So, you can add those two equations together like this:
