Let x be the unknown speed, y the unknown distance.

distance equals speed times time.

"With" an 8kph current means our speed is x+8. 2 hours with an 8 kph current gets is a distance y:

y = 2(x + 8)

Against the current, speed x-8, took 3 hours to go y:

y = 3(x-8)

Equating,

2(x+8)=3(x-8)

2x + 16 =3x - 24

40 = x

Answer: 40 km/h

Check: 2(40+8)=96 km. 3(40-8)=3(32)=96 km. Equal, good.
