Answer

They will meet after $2$ hours.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 50h=190-45h$ Add $45h$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 50h+45h=190-45h+45h$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 95h=190$ Divide each side by $95$. $\Rightarrow \frac{95h}{95}=\frac{190}{95}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow h=2$ Hence, they will meet after $2$ hours.
