STEP 1

1. The distance between the two docks is 60 km.
2. The motorboat takes 2 hours to travel downstream.
3. The motorboat takes 3 hours to travel upstream.
4. We need to find the speed of the motorboat in still water and the speed of the current.

STEP 2

1. Define variables for the speeds.
2. Write equations for downstream and upstream travel.
3. Solve the system of equations.

STEP 3

Define variables for the speeds.
Let b b be the speed of the motorboat in still water (in km/h). Let c c be the speed of the current (in km/h).

STEP 4

Write equations for downstream and upstream travel.
For downstream travel, the effective speed is b+c b + c and the time taken is 2 hours. The equation is:
(b+c)×2=60 (b + c) \times 2 = 60
For upstream travel, the effective speed is bc b - c and the time taken is 3 hours. The equation is:
(bc)×3=60 (b - c) \times 3 = 60

STEP 5

Solve the system of equations.
First, simplify the equations:
1. 2(b+c)=60 2(b + c) = 60 becomes b+c=30 b + c = 30
2. 3(bc)=60 3(b - c) = 60 becomes bc=20 b - c = 20

Now, solve the system of equations:
Add the two equations:
(b+c)+(bc)=30+20 (b + c) + (b - c) = 30 + 20 2b=50 2b = 50 b=25 b = 25
Substitute b=25 b = 25 into one of the original equations, for example, b+c=30 b + c = 30 :
25+c=30 25 + c = 30 c=5 c = 5
The speed of the motorboat in still water is 25 \boxed{25} km/h, and the speed of the current is 5 \boxed{5} km/h.
