y=mx+b soo if x is speed y is?

Answer 2

Speed of Boat that you are taking to the Island =x Km/hr or x m/sec.

Let u Km/hr or x m/sec, be the speed of water.

⇒Speed of Water while Going Upstream

=Speed of Boat+Speed of Water

=(x+u) Km/hr or (x-u) m/sec.

⇒Speed of Water while Going Downstream, that is speed of the boat coming back from the island

=Speed of Boat-Speed of Water

=(x-u) Km/hr or (x-u) m/sec.
