9. When you get to the island, you decide to take a kayak tour to a nearby reef. A kayak is a small boat you row with a paddle. Find the speed for the kayak. Use one of these facts to help. The steamboat's speed is 4 less than 8 times the speed of the kayak. The tall ship's speed is 1 more than 3 times the speed of the kayak. The yacht's speed is 5 less than 15 times the speed of the kayak. Write and solve an equation for the speed of the kayak. Show your work. (5 points: 2 points for writing a correct equation, 3 points for the solution) 10. The length of your trip to the island is 40 nautical miles less than 20 times the distance to the reef. It's 2:00 p. m. now, and your boat leaves the island at 7:30 p. m. Will you be able to kayak to the reef and back by then? If so, how long will you have to spend at the reef? If not, how late will you be for the return trip? Explain how you plan to solve this problem. Then solve the problem, showing all work. (5 points: 2 points for the explanation of the plan, 1 point for deciding if you will make it back to the island on time, and 2 points for determining either how long you can spend at the reef or how late you'll be)
