Answer:
A)
x + y = 80
y = x + 20
B) x = 30 minutes
C) No. If Pam dances for 60 minutes, and dances for 20 minutes longer than she does math, then she does math for 40 minutes. This means she spends 100 minutes total. 100 minutes is not 80 minutes, thus this is not possible.
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
x + y = 80
y = x + 20
B) x = 30 minutes
Replacing y with x + 20 in the first equation ->
x + x + 20 = 80
2x + 20 = 80
2x = 60
x = 30
C) No. If Pam dances for 60 minutes, and dances for 20 minutes longer than she does math, then she does math for 40 minutes. This means she spends 100 minutes total. 100 minutes is not 80 minutes, thus this is not possible.
