what is the question

Answer 21

Answer 22

Your schools talent show will feature 12 solo acts and ensemble 2 acts. The show will last 90 min. The 6 solo performers judged best will give a repeat performance at a second 60-min show, which will also feature the 2 ensemble acts. Each solo lasts x minutes, and each ensemble act lasts y minutes.
A. Write a system of equations to model the situation.
B. Solve the system from part(a). How long is each solo act? How long is each ensemble act?

Answer 23

@midgetmiles if you round it, it's 24

Answer 24

fine then this works too
8 / (3 - 8/3)

Answer 25

now please help me!!

Answer 26

@josd32

6x + 2y = 60
12x + 2y = 90,
This means that it takes 30 minutes to do 6 solo acts, so 5 minutes each

6(5) + 2y = 60
30 + 2y = 60
subtract 30 from both sides
2y = 30, so each ensemble is 15 minutes
