This requires using systems of equations. Please, I need help ASAP.

David bought a new boat, and decided to test drive it in a nearby lake. He drove the boat upstream for 54 miles for 3 hours and then back downstream 65 miles back to shore in 5 hours. What was the speed of the boat in still water?

C = current in lake
B = the ‘mph’ of the boat
