A man (weighing 915 N) stands on a long railroad flat-car (weighing 2415 N) as it rolls

Question:

A man (weighing 915 N) stands on a long railroad flat-car (weighing 2415 N) as it rolls at I8.2 m/s in the positive direction of an x axis, with negligible friction. Then the man runs along the flatcar in the negative x direction at 4.00 m/s relative to the flatcar. What is the resulting increase in the speed of the flatcar?
