Answer:

boat speed 79 kph

stream speed 16kph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the still water velocity

Let s be the stream velocity

3(v - s) = 189

3v - 3s = 189

   v - s = 63

        v = 63 + s

         5(v + s) = 475

         5v + 5s = 475

5(63 + s) + 5s = 475

315 + 5s + 5s = 475

               10s = 160

                  s = 16 km/hr

v = 63 + 16

v = 79 km/hr
