Answer:

The distance between home and river is 2 miles. In still water a boat can cover 18 miles in 3 hours.

Unit rate of the boat is calculated as


(18)/(3)=6

Unit rate of the boat is 6 miles per hour.

In the morning, a fisher man walks towards river and sits on the boat and moves in still water, then total distance covered by the fisher man is defined by the equation


y=2+6x
