I couldn't understand the question at first because of your apprehensible typing, not because of the mathmatics.

How fast is the car going?

edit

I think 3 hrs? At 48 minutes, the bus would be 60 miles away. Every hour, the car would gain 20 miles.

Let the car’s time be x, so the bus travelled for x + 48 minutes

Distance bus travelled in 48 minutes = 48/60 * 75 = 60Kms

So they will meet when they have travelled the same distance.

X*75 + 60=x*95

95x –75x = 60

20x =60

x=3

So 3 hours after the car left they will meet or 3 hours 48 after the bus left they will meet.

In your jargon: dey wud meat tree hours after da car left

Proof

Distance car travelled = 3 hours * 95 = 285

Distance bus travelled = 3 hours * 75 + 60 = 285

in 48 min the bus would have covered 60 km
the relative vel of the car w.r.t. the bus 95-75=20 kph
this 60 km will be close in 60/20=3 hours
so they will meet 3 hrs after the car leaves or 3hrs 48 min after the bus leaves
