The Meridas travelled 245m less than the Andersons. The Andersons travelled 835m. Therefore, the Meridas travelled 835-245 miles = 590 miles.

Your statement basically says:
anderson = 835
anderson = merida + 245
From this, we can say that
835 = merida + 245
Solving for merida, you get:
835 - 245 = merida
Now, just do the subtraction...
merida = 590
Answer is 590 miles. (don't forget the unit)
Take one section of the word problem at a time, turn it into formula, and rest figures out on its own. Usually, before period or comma in the sentence mean you should have a formula for that section.
