A boat travels #130# kilometres down a river in #5# hours, but takes #13# hours to return upstream.
Assume the boat travels at a constant speed and the current flows at a constant speed. Also assume that the speed of the boat upstream is the same as the speed downstream.
Find the speed of the boat in still water, and find the speed of the current, both in kilometres per hour.
