Answer

$J = 1.01\times 10^5~A/m^2$

Work Step by Step

Let east be the positive direction. We can find the net current density: $J = (ne)v_d$ $J = (2.80\times 10^{21}~m^{-3})(2)(1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)(25.0~m/s)+(2.80\times 10^{21}~m^{-3})(2)(-1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)(-88.0~m/s)$ $J = 1.01\times 10^5~A/m^2$
