Leaving the speed kmh River V

Distance = Speed * Time

Time is needed for both trips,

Distance / speed is the same for the journey

Sun 18 / (14 + v) = 9 / (14-V)

or (14 + v) / (14-V) = 2

or 14 V + = 28 - 2v

or 3y = 14

for v = 14 / 3 = 4 2 / 3 km / h

Answer: the speed of the river = 4 2 / 3 km / h
