A small motorboat travels 14 mph in still water. It takes 5

A small motorboat travels 14 mph in still water. It takes 5 hours longer to travel 31 miles going upstream than it does going downstream. Find the rate of the current. (Hint: 14+x=rate going downstream and 14 - x = rate going upstream.) (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)
