    Let the speed of Kareem be x km/h

    since time=distance/speed

    then:

    Time taken to swim 16km will be:

    16 / (x+3)

    Time taken to swim 4km will be:

    4 / (x-3)

    thus

    16 / (x+3) = 4 / (x-3)

    16 (x-3) = 4 (x+3)

    16x-48=4x+12

    16x-4x=12+48

    20x=60

    x=60/20

    x=3 km/h
