A canoe travels 8 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:
X+ y = 8
x - y = 2
Choose the two correct options.
A. The speed of the canoe in still water is 3 miles per hour.
B. The speed of the water current is 5 miles per hour.
C. The speed of the water current is 3 miles per hour.
D. The speed of the canoe in still water is 5 miles per hour.
