This seems to be two separate questions:

k = F/x

F is your Force, in this case 75 N

when the spring is initially at rest:

x is a distance elongated from rest, in the first case it is 65 cm

therefore k, your spring constant, is 75N/65 cm

equivalently k = 1.154 N/cm = 115.4 N/m

do the same thing for the next one

If it is one question, then it may be implying that the spring is not initially at rest?

in ths case x represents something slightly different numerically

x = stretched distance - relaxed length

in that case, you have a system of two linear equations

simply solve these two equations in terms of k and relaxed length and substitute to get what youre looking for
