A motorboat covers 25 km upstream and 39 km downstream by travelling at the same speed for 8 hours. On another occasion with the same speed, it covers 35 km upstream and 52 km downstream in 11 hours. What is the speed of the stream?

Each of the two periods of 8 hours and 11 hours consists of two component time periods, one upstream at a speed that is the difference in boat speed and stream speed, and the other downstream at a speed that is a sum of boat speed and stream speed
