A trout can swim 48 feet downstream on a river in 3 seconds. It takes the trout 12 seconds to swim back upstream the same 48 feet. Find the speed of the current. Set up a system of equations. Downstream = x Upstream = y x-3=48 y+12=48 x-3=y+12 x=y+15 y=0, x=15 This is the best I can do. My textbook does not have an example of this for me to use.
