Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time
one car is going at 55kph, at say hmmm "t" time
the second car zooms by at 75kph, an hour later, thus " t + 1 "
notice, overtaking the 1st car, simply means, the second car comes from behind approaches the first car from behind and "gets there", at that very second, both cars have travelled a distance, say "d"
if the first car travelled "d" kilometers
for the second car to "get there" has to had travelled "d" distance as well
solve for "t"
