============================================================================
The speed of a boat in still water is 15km/hr. It needs four more hours to travel 63km against the currnet of the river than it needs to travel dowen the river. Determine the speed of the currnet of the river.
============================================================================ 
               SPEED     TIME         DISTANCE

UP             15-c      63/(15-c)     63

DOWN           15+c     63/(15+c)      63

DIFFERENCE                4

Solve for c in .

Not showing the steps here, but c=6.
