    95x=85x+288

    You could add 288 to any side, it just shows that they're 288 miles apart.

    Let's subtract 85x from both sides.

    10x=288

    28.8=x

    It'll take 28.8 hours for the trains to meet. Let's make sure.

    28.8*95

    2,736

    28.8*85

    2,448

    2,736-2,448

    288

    So, they'll meet up after 28.8 miles.
