Answer:

10 kph

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the speed of the current of the river.

20/(20 - c) + 180/(20 + c) = 8

20(20 + c) + 180(20 - c) = 8(400 - c^2)

8c^2 - 160c  + 800 = 0

8(c^2 - 20c + 100) = 0

8(c - 10)^2 = 0

c = 10

The speed of the current of the river is 10 km/hour.
10 kph because if you divide
