Ok so first it's a system of equations
so let x represent the number of hours on road 1 and y represent the num of hours on road 2
so
x + y = 5 and
55x + 65y = 305
then x = 5 - y by rearranging the first equation
plug that x into the second equation
55( 5 - y) +65y = 305
275 - 55y + 65y = 305
10y = 30
y = 3
now that you have y you can plug that into the first equation
x + 3 = 5
x = 2
therefore she spent 2 hours on road one and 3 hours on road 2.
