The same as the other problem, but only different given values.

You are not lost. You understood the other one. This is the same thing, but different values given; cars instead of planes.

                SPEED          TIME       DISTANCE
"one car"          65            x         65x
"other car"        75            x         75x
TOTAL                                       735

LOOK at what the data and expressions mean!
65x%2B75x=735
