They leave at the same time traveling toward each other.

The distance between them is 690 miles.

They meet after 5 hours. This is our time.

Hannah's speed = x + 10
Jaclyn's speed = x

5x + 5(x + 10) = 690 is your equation.

***
let x=Jacyln's rate of speed
x+10=Hannah's rate of speed
distance=rate*speed
5x+5(x+10)=690
