F for Florida.
T for Texas.
Interpreting the sentences into equations, we have:

F =  4T -118.             (i)
F =    T + 983            (ii)

So we solve both equations now.
Substitute (ii) into (i).

F = 4T - 118
T + 983 = 4T - 118
T - 4T  =  -118 - 983
-3T    =  -1101    Divide both sides by -3.
T  = -1101/-3
T = 367 miles.

Using (ii)  F = T + 983,  F = 367 + 983 =  1350.
T = 367 miles,   F = 1350 miles.
Cheers.
