Trip took how many hour? Omitted. Let this be T.
Unknown distance each way may be d. 
               SPEED         TIME            DISTANCE

UPSTREAM         5                       d

DOWNSTREAM       11                     d

Total                        T               2d

Did you mean, "...the entire trip took FOUR hours." ? In that case, you would have T=4, and you can then evaluate d.
