    9 km/h ... Current rate

    12 km/h ... still water boat rate

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The speed of the boat supposed to be x km/h

    The current rate is y km/h

    (x + Y) * 10 = 210

    (x - y) * 70 = 210

    x + y = 21 ... ①

    x - y = 3 ... ②

    ①' - ②' ... 2y = 18

    Y = 9 km/h ... Current rate

    X = 9 + 3 = 12 km/h ... still water boat rate
