Time is equal to Distance divided by Rate.  One of them going 55 in one direction and the other going 85 in the other direction is just the same as one of them standing still and the other one going 140 -- at least in terms of how long it will take them to be a given distance apart.  Divide the total distance by the sum of the two speeds.
