What does it mean by "the body covers equal distance''

My book says If s₁ = s₂ = s, and the body covers equal distance with different speed' Then what does it mean by "the body covers equal distance with different speed'? Could you explain the concept, please?

Suppose you drive 50 miles at 50 mph, then another 50 miles at 30 mph. Do you understand the concept of "equal distance with different speed" in that case?
