Final answer:

Amanda takes 28 minutes for a haircut and 85 minutes for hair coloring, consistent with the given equations.


Explanation:

Let's define the variables:

  1. x: hours for a haircut
  2. y: hours for hair coloring

System of Equations:

1. x + 2y = 199

2. 2x + 2y = 226

Solving using elimination, subtract 2 times Equation 1 from Equation 2:

2x + 2y - 2(x + 2y) = 226 - 2199

x = 28

Thus, haircut takes 28 minutes and hair coloring takes 85 minutes.
