On a weekend, Andjela watches 8 episodes of The Office and 4 episodes of Friends for a total watch time of 340 minutes. How long is each episode of Friends, and how long is each episode of The Office? What do the variables mean in this equation?]]> 2021-03-01 17:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1254317368 culafand000 https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1254346458 My equations are:
8y+4x=340
4y+4x=220]]> 2021-03-01 17:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1254346458 culafand000 https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1254353721 After finding the equations, I subtracted both equations. I got 4y+0=120. Now I can divide 120 by 4. 120/4 equals 30 minutes. This means that y=30]]> 2021-03-01 17:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1254353721 culafand000 https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1254401614 After finding the value of y, now we have to find the value of x. To do this we substitute y for 30 in one of the equations. I picked the second one. So, we take out y and place 30 instead. After simplifying the equation we get x=25]]> 2021-03-01 17:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1254401614 culafand000 https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1259336812 Now that we know what each variable represents, we should check our answer to make sure we are correct. To check our answer, we input our X and Y values into one or both of our equations. I am going to input the values into the second equation, because I just think it will be faster. After imputing and multiplying the X and Y values, our equation becomes 120+100=220 which is correct! This means that our X and Y values are right!]]> 2021-03-02 16:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1259336812 culafand000 https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1259414525 Y represents how long (in minutes) a episode of The Office is.
X represents how long (in minutes) a episode of Friends is.]]> 2021-03-02 16:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1259414525 culafand000 https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1259438266 Each episode of The Office is 30 minutes long, and each episode of Friends is 25 minutes long.]]> 2021-03-02 16:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/culafand000/zmog6yq2082lr4q3/wish/1259438266
