Going against the current, a boat takes 6 hours to make a 120-mile trip. When the boat travels with the current on the return trip, it takes 5 hours. If x= the rate of the boat in still water and y= the rate of the current, which of the following systems could be used to solve the problem? 6(x-yl=120 and 5(x-y)=120 6(x+y)-120 and 5(x-y)=120 6x-5y=120 and x-y=120
