CARS___________speed____________time____________distance
Car A__________66_______________2+h_____________(____)
Car B__________34_______________h_______________(____)
Total____________________________________________932

h is time in HOURS that car B traveled.
The sum of both car's distances must be 932 when they meet. We do not yet know more about each car's distance. Use the basic relation, rate*time=distance to fill in the expressions.

CARS___________speed____________time____________distance
Car A__________66_______________2+h_____________66(h+2)
Car B__________34_______________h_______________34h
Total____________________________________________932

You obtain the equation, and simply solve for h.
