Steve's brother time to catch-up --- t hrs
Steve's time to catch-up by brother -- t+2

54t = 18(t+2)
54t = 18t + 36
36t = 36
t = 1

Steve had biked for 3 hours, when his brother overtook him.

simply sub in the value of t = 1 into both distances., you will obviously get the same answer since they both went the same distance.
