Let S be the distance between their homes, in meters.
Let be Alice's rate, and be Bob's rate.
Let be the time after their start to their first meeting.
Let be the time after their start to their second meeting.
Notice I follow your (your ?) designations in your (your ?) set up in

Then you have
= S - 55; = 55; (1)
= 2S - 85; = S + 85. (2)
From (1) you have = ; (3)
From (2) you have = , (4)
which gives you an equation for S
= .
Simplify and solve for S:
(S-55)*(S+85) = (2S-85)*55
S^2 -55*S + 85*S - 55*85 = 110*S - 55*85
S^2 - 55*S + 85*S - 110*S = 0
S^2 - 80*S = 0
S*(S-80) = 0 ====> The only positive root is S = 80.
Thus we found the distance between the homes: it is 80 meters.
Having this known, you van calculate the ratio of their rates from (3)
= = =
and hence calculate the distance "x" from the Bob's home to the abandoned car from the proportion
= ======> x = = 55 m.
Then the distance under the question is 80 - 25 - 55 meters = 0 meters.
