Mathematical Modeling of Catch-Up Motion

A sales representative leaves for a client site at a constant speed. A regional manager leaves from the same location 15{}15 minutes later, following the same route at a faster speed to catch up. If rr represents the representative's travel time in hours and mm represents the manager's travel time in hours, state the two fundamental mathematical conditions (one for distance and one for time) that must be represented in your system of equations to find when they meet.
