    let x=rate of the rowing team in still water

    x+4=rate of the rowing team with current

    x-4=rate of the rowing team against current

    travel time=distance/rate

    ...

    90%2F%28x%2B4%29=10%2F%28x-4%29

    90x-360=10x+40

    80x=400

    x=5 rate of the rowing team in still water=5 mph
