122.5 metres per hour

Rather than use algebra assume the journey is a 700 metres round trip
Outward journey 350m : 350m @ 175m/hour takes 2 hours
Return journey 350m: 350M @ 70m/hour takes 5 hours
So 700m completed in 7 hours = 100m/hour

The reason it is not simplify the average of 175 & 70 is the fact that the two parts of the trips take differing amounts of time.
