Answer:

[tex]\frac{10}{x+2} = \frac{3}{x-2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The 10 represents the speed traveling downsteam while the 3 represents speed upstream. Downstream you have the help of the current, so it would be x + 2, upstream you are working against the current so it would be x - 2.
