what is 9.18-7.95?
The distance he walked was 7.95 km less than the distance he travelled by bus. So that means that

The distance on the bus was 7.95 km more than the distance he walked.

Now you know that if his walking distance was w, then
w + w+7.95 = 9.18
now just find w.
Traveled X km by bus.
Walked x - 7.95 km.

x + (x-7.95) = 9.18.
2x = 9.18 + 7.95 = 17.13,
X = 8.57 km.
X-7.95 = 8.57 - 7.95 = 0.62 km = Distance walked.
