First question --

90 / (v-3) - 90 / (v+3) = 1/2
v^2 = 1089, so v = 33

Downstream = 90 / (33+3) = 90 / 36 = 10 / 4 = 2.5 hours

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second question --

xy + z = xy + xz

If z = 0, xy = xy

If x = 1, y + z = y + z

Hence E.

Please note that you cannot choose D as you need both x=1 AND y=0.
D says x=1 (which is ok) OR y=0 (which is not ok by itself as
we can only get z = xz)

Because it says MUST be true. If z=0, y can = 50 (or any other number for that matter) and the equation would still hold.
