    Let's denote:

    x: the time both trains traveled.

    Then, we have:

    70x + 80x = 390

    => 150x = 390

    => x = 390/150 = 2.6 hour

    2.6 hours (or 2 hours 36 minutes).

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The combined speed is 70+80 = 150 mph.

    Speed = distance / time, so time = distance / speed.

    So the time when they will meet

    = 390 / 150

    = 2.6 hours.
