Question

Jackie runs and dances for a total of 55 minutes every day. She dances 25 minutes more than she runs.

Part A: Write a pair of linear equations to show the relationship between the number of minutes Jackie runs (x) and the number of minutes she dances (y) every day. (5 points)

Answer 1

Answer: runs for 15 minutes, dances for 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 55
y = x + 25
x + x + 25 = 55
2x = 30
x = 15 min
15 + y = 55
y = 40 min
