Answer 1

I'll get you started. If this doesn't help, you are in big trouble.

#1. 40+6x = 24+10x

#2. 2e+t = 6.00
e+t = 3.60

#3. .30x + .10(4-x) = .15(4)
#4. Just like #3

#5. k+c = 5.75
k-c = 3.25

#6. 12b + 24g >= 420

#7. L >= 40
2(L+W) <= 150

Answer 2

I'll help you w/ 5; use above as ref to learn

5.
y = still water
x = current speed

+ for with the water
- for going against the water

elimination
y+x=5.75. (x+ and x- cancel out)
y-x=3.25
--------------
2y=9
/2 /2

y=4.5 (still water)

y+x=5.75
4.5 +x = 5.75
-4.5 -4.5
-----------------
x = 1.25

The current speed is 1.25
