Let d km be the distance between Town A and Town B.

Time taken = (11 - 9) hours = 2 hours

Total distance that the car and the lorry travel in km:
d + 35 = 70 × 2 + 55 × 2
d + 35 = 250
d = 215

Distance between Town A and Town B = 215 km

While the car and lorry are driving towards each other, the distance between them decreases by 70+55 = 125 km/h.
While the car and lorry are driving away from each other, the distance between them increases by 125 km/h.

They meet after x hours, x < 2. The car has traveled 70x km and the lorry has traveled 55x km.
After another 2-x hours, the car has traveled an additional (2-x)70 km and the lorry has traveled an additional (2-x)55 km.
(2-x)70 + (2-x)55 = 35
140-70x + 110-55x = 35
215 = 125x
x = 215/125 hours

The car and lorry met after 215/125 hours.

215/125 hours × (125 km)/hour = 215 km
The distance between towns is 215 km.

11 - 9 = 2 hrs.

2 * (70 + 55) = 250 km

250 - 35 = 215 km
