Answer, although I don't know why it's Minus

Distance = Speed x Time

Time = Distance / Speed



Velocity A = Speed A / Time A
Velocity B = Speed B / Time B

You want the two speeds to equal.

S A = V A x T A
S B = V B x T B

V A x T A = V B x (T A + 10 Mins)

90 x T A = 100 (T A + 1/6)

90 T A = 100 T A + 100/6

-10 TA = 100/6

TA = -10/6 (10 / 6 * 60(mins) = 100 Mins

Q.E.D 100 Mins
