Sagot :

The number of movies that are 2.5 hours long that Cora watched is 10 hours.

What are the linear equations that represent this question?

a + b = 30 equation 1

1.5a + 2.5b = 55 equation 2

Where:

a = movies that are 1.5 hours long

b = movies that are 2.5 hours long

How many movies are 2.5 hours long?

Multiply  equation 1 by 1.5

1.5a + 1.5b = 45  equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from 2

1b = 10 hours
