Set down a few facts.

Your friends clock indicates that you stayed for 2 hr (7pm to 9pm)

Your total travel time; 3 - 2 = 1 hr. One way = 1/2 hr

When you arrived at your friends house, it would be 4:30 on your clock, and 7 Pm on your friend's clock
:
To set the correct time, put your clock ahead 2.5 hrs
