No, it is not possible for Eric to have spent 35 minutes playing basketball if he plays for a total of exactly 95

How to form a linear equation

Let the time taken to play basketball be "x"

Let the time taken to play volleyball be "y"

According to the information given, Eric plays basketball and volleyball for a total of 95 minutes every day, then;

x + y = 95

If he plays basketball for 25 minutes long, then;

x = 25

The pair of linear equations that represents the statement are:

x  + y = 95
x = 25

The time it takes Eric to play volleyball every day is expressed as:

y = 95 - x

y = 95 - 25

y = 70 minutes

No, it is not possible for Eric to have spent 35 minutes playing basketball if he plays for a total of exactly 95

Answer:

A) x is time playing basketball. y is time spent playing volleyball.

x+y=95

x=y+25

B) He spends 35 minutes playing volleyball.

C) No, because if he spent 35 minutes playing basketball and 25 minutes less playing volleyball and that only gets 45 minutes worth of playing, not 95.
