A tour group traveled by yacht. It is known that the speed of the current is 2 kilometers per hour, and it takes 3 hours to sail with the current and 4 hours to return to the starting point. What's the sailing distance? Suppose the speed of the ship is x km/h.

So downstream x+2, countercurrent x-2

Same distance 3(x+2)=4(x-2)

2x+6=4x-8

X = 14 km/h

So the distance = 3 * (14+2) = 48km.
