Police Car Overtaking Speeder: How to Calculate the Time and Distance?

[Monocerotis]

Homework Statement

A police ar traveling a constant 90 km/h is passed by a speeder travelig 130 km/h. 1.00s after the speeder passes, the policeman steps on the accelerator. If the police car's acceleration is 2.00 m/s^2, how much time elapses after the police car is passed until it overtakes the speeder (assumed moving at a constant speed)

The Attempt at a Solution

This is my first encounter with these types of problems, at the level where I need to solve it without trial and error graphing.

Could someone provide a bit of guidance because I'm not sure how to do this problem.

What is the position of the speeder at time t.
What is the position of the policeman at time t.
for what t are they equal.

motion with constant acceleration:
$$x = x_0 + v_0 t + (1/2) a t^2$$

motion with constant velocity
$$x = x_0 + v_0 t$$
