Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
4(b-c) = 192
3(b+c) = 192
time times speed = distance
b-c = 192/4 = 48
b+c = 192/3 = 64
2b = 112
b = 56 mph= boat speed in still water
c = 8 mph= current speed

hours to travel 192
kilometers going upstream. The return trip takes 3
hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?
