The speed of the boat is 36 km/h. Going upstream: 3h x 36km/h = 108 km, minus (6x3 =18 km) = 90 km Going downstream: 2h x 36km/h = 72 km, plus (6x2 =12 km) = 90 km

A kayaker paddled 2 hours with a 6 mph current in a river The return trip against the same current took 3 hours Find the speed the kayaker would make in still water?

The distance that the kayaker traveled in 2 hours is equal to 2x + 12. The same distance was traveled in 3 hours but against the current, so that was 3x - 18. The equation is 2x + 12 = 3x - 18, or x = 30. The speed then was 30 mph.
