<pre>
h=3.5 hour
r=50 mph
R=70 mph

d, unknown distance upon catchup
</pre>
BASIC Constant Travel Rate Formula:  {{{D/T=R}}}


<pre>
                  SPEED        TIME       DISTANCE
Mr. Cumming        r           t+h        d
Mrs. Cumming       R           t          d
</pre>
Write the equations for the system, and solve for t and d.
