Start by looking at everything you're given, and what you still need. The easiest way to do this would be to set it up so "x" is the time it takes him to drive home, and then divide that by the distance.

Step one would be to find out how long it takes him to drive to school. Can you set that up?

Incidentally : you will be dividing the distance by the time, not time by distance (as I previously mis-typed)
