    Suppose one bus travels at x km/h, the second bus is 17 km/h slower so it is x-17

    the first bus travels a total of 7x km, the second bus travels 7 (x-17) km, together they travel the total distance of 1631 km

    7x + 7 (x-17) = 1631

    7x + 7x - 119 = 1631

    14x=1750

    x=125

    x-17=108
