Answer:

Distance = 17.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Note.

Given question is not complete

Given:

Speed upstream = x

Time taken in upstream = 3.5 hour

Speed in return trip = (x+2)

Time taken in return trip = 2.5 hour

Computation:

Distance = speed × time

Distance = x (3.5)

Distance = 2.5 (x+2)

Distance = 2.5x + 5

So,

2.5x + 5 = 3.5 x

1.5 x = 5

x = 5 miles/hour

Distance = x (3.5)

Distance = 5 (3.5)

Distance = 17.5 miles
