I want to know what formula I would use to solve the following question example:
Car A leaves out at 55MPH
Car B leaves out 10 minutes later traveling 70MPH
How long would it take car B to catch up with car A?
I don't need just the answer, I need the FORMULA used to solve it, and the formula should be explained.
First to answer wins,

I am slasher has given me the answer via PM. He wins
1/6a = m
b-a = x
m/x = t
t * 60 = answer
Or. simplified:
Tt = S1x T
.......S2 - S1
Tt = time you are looking for
T= time between starts
S1 = speed of first car
S2 = speed of second car
