Answer:

Let  b  =  rate of the boat.

Let  r  =  rate of the river.

The rate going downstream is  b + r.

The rate going upstream is  b - r.

rate x time  =  distance

4(b + r)  =  144     --->     b + r  =  36     [divide both sides by 4]

9(b - r)  =  144      --->     b - r  =  16      [divide both sides by 9]

Add town:                          2b  =  52  

Divide by :                           b  =  26  mi/hr

                                           r  =  10  mi/hr
