Answer:

50 (mph)    = rate of passenger train

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rate of  the freight train  =   R

Let the rate of the  passenger train  be R +  30

The freight train  has  been  traveling for 2 + 3   =  5 hours

And the passenger train has  been traveling for  3 hours

And they  have traveled the same distance   when  the passenger  train  overtakes the freight train

So    using rate * time  = distance we have that

R(5)  = (R + 20) 3      simplify

5R  =  3R  +  60     subtract 3R from  both sides

2R  = 60           divide  both sides  by  2

R = 30   (mph)  = rate of freight train

R +  20  =  50 (mph)    = rate of passenger train
