d = 15
Well first of all you got to show your answer.
Answer:
It’s 60miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the trip is "d" miles and that the "extra hour" refers to the additional time that a current of 2 mph would add. That is, we assume the reference time is for a current of 0 mph.
The time with no current is ...
time1 = distance/speed
time1 = d/12 . . . . hours
With a current of 2 mph in the opposite direction, the time is ...
time2 = d/(12 -2) = d/10
The second time is 1 hour longer than the first, so we have ...
time2 = 1 + time1
d/10 = 1 + d/12
6d = 60 + 5d . . . . multiply by 60
d = 60 . . . . . . . . . subtract 5d
The one-way distance is 60 miles.
. Multiplying the denominator by 
gives
Subtracting this from the numerator gives a remainder of
. Multiplying the denominator by 
gives
and subtracting this from the previous remainder gives a new remainder of
This last remainder is exactly the same as the denominator, so 
divides through it exactly and leaves us with 1.
What we showed here is that
and this last expression is the quotient.
To verify this solution, we can simply multiply this by the original denominator:
which matches the original numerator.
