Time question?

[randomperson]

Tom and John decided to visit eachother and set off at the same time to eachother's house. When they met on the road joining their houses, they forgot they wanted to see eachother and continued walking. Tom reached John's house 8min after the metting and John got to Tom's house 18min after the meeting. How long did it take for John to reach Tom's hose from the time he left his own house?
