A family is canoeing downstream (with the current). Their speed relative to the banks of the river averages 2.75 mi/h. During the return trip, they paddle upstream (against the current), averaging 1.5 mi/h relative to the river bank. Write and solve a system of equations to find the family's paddling speed in still water. Then find the speed of the current of the river. ​

step-by-step explanation:

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0

the answer is
