Eric plays basketball and volleyball for a total of 95 minutes every day. He plays basketball for 25 minutes longer than he plays volleyball. Part A: Write a pair of linear equations to show the relationship between the number of minutes Eric plays basketball (x) and the number of minutes he plays volleyball (y) every day. (5 points) Part B: How much time does Eric spend playing volleyball every day? Show your work. (3 points) Part C: Is it possible for Eric to have spent 35 minutes playing basketball if he plays for a total of exactly 95 minutes and plays basketball for 25 minutes longer than he plays volleyball? Explain your reasoning. (2 points)

Part A:

x+y= 95

x = y+25

Part B : 35 minutes

Part C : No

Step-by-step explanation:

Eric plays basketball and volleyball for a total of 95 minutes every day

x+y= 95

Where:

x =the number of minutes Eric plays basketball

y= the number of minutes he plays volleyball  

He plays basketball for 25 minutes longer than he plays volleyball.

x = y+25

System:

x+y= 95

x = y+25

Replacing x=y+25 on the first equation:

(y+25) + y =95

Solving for Y

y+25+y =95

25+2y=95

2y=95-25

2y=70

y = 70/2

y = 35 minutes

Part C : No

if x = 35

x+y= 95

35+y =95

y= 95-35

y = 60 minutes

Replacing y=60 on the other equation:

x = y+25

35 = 60+25

35 ≠85

answer: 12

step-by-step explanation:

70

step-by-step explanation:

2*5=10

4*15=60

60+10=

70
