SOLUTION: An express train travels 348 mi in the same amount of time it takes a freight train to travel 210 mi. The rate of the express train is 23 mph faster than that of the freight train.

Let x be the rate of the freight train, in miles per hour (the value under the problem's question).


Then the time equation is


     = .


Solve it for x. Start cross-multiplying


    348x = 210*(x+23),

    348x = 210*x + 210*23

    x =  = 35.


Answer.  The freight train rate is 35 miles per hour.
