Remember that d=rt.
In this case, we want time so we use t=d/r
We are told that there times are equal. One is just traveling faster than the other.
Dennis's time is 27/r
Deiko's time is 39/(r+4)
Since they are equal, we have

So, Dennis is going 9 kph and Deiko is traveling 13 kph.
These types of problems are variations on a theme. Use d=rt and manipulate it accordingly. Since they said their times were equal, we use t=d/r. The distance is given, so all we have to do is solve for the rates by equating the time, t=d/r.
