Eric plays basketball and volleyball for a total of 95 minutes every day. he plays basketball 25 minutes more 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? (3 points) part c: is it possible for eric to have spent 35 minutes playing basketball every day? explain your reasoning. (2 points) (10 points)

Respuesta :

The linear equations that can be used to show the relationship are:
x + y = 95 minutes

x - y = 25 minutes

The minutes spent playing volleyball is 60 minutes.

Eric could have spent 35 minutes playing basketball. This is because the difference between 95 and 60 minutes is 35 minutes.

What are the minutes spent playing volleyball and basketball?

x + y = 95 minutes equation 1

x - 25 = y equation 2

Substitute for y in equation 1

x + x - 25 = 95

2x = 95 + 25

2x = 120

x = 60 minutes

Time spent playing basketball = 95 - 60 = 35 minutes
