A passenger train leaves the train station 5 hours after a freight train left the same station. The freight train is traveling 30 mph slower than the passenger train. Which equation helps to find the rate of each train, if the passenger train overtakes the freight train in three hours.

3r = 5(r - 30)


3r = 8(r - 30)

3r = 8(r + 30)

5r = 3(r - 30)
