A kayaker paddles 12 miles downstream (with the current) in 2 hours. On the return trip paddling upstream (against the same current), the journey takes them 4 hours.

Determine the kayaker's paddling speed in still water (x) and the speed of the river's current (y) in miles per hour.

(Hint: Distance= Rate X Time)

The kayaker's paddling speed is 4.5 mph and the river current is 1.5 mph.

A chemist needs to create 10 liters of a 32% acid solution for an experiment. In the lab, they only have access to two stock bottles: a 20% acid solution and a 50% acid solution.

 Set up and solve a system of equations to figure out how many liters of the 20% solution and how many liters of the 50% solution must be mixed together to get the desired result. (Hint: how many liters of acid are needed?)

The chemist needs 6 liters of the 20% solution and 4 liters of the 50% solution.
