This is a better problem description:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jammuna rode a boat from A to B and back in total time of 12 hours. Five hours were ridden in the stream's direction, and the A to B distance was 70 kilometers. Find the speed of the stream.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
              SPEED       TIME    DISTANCE
A to B         r+c         5        70
B to A         r-c         7        70
TOTAL                     12


RATE x TIME = DISTANCE





From that system, this simpler system should be clear:
