Translating Departure Delays into Time Equations

A logistics coordinator is using the seven-step problem-solving strategy to solve a catch-up uniform motion problem. An express delivery van leaves a distribution center exactly 1 hour after a slower freight truck departs on the same route. If the coordinator uses the variable ff to represent the freight truck's travel time in hours and ee to represent the express van's travel time, what specific algebraic equation must be recalled and written to represent the relationship between their travel times, and what is the reasoning behind it?
