Well I haven't bit problem trying to figure it out its algebra question that complete on lab quiz

danjs · Answer

Translate each sentence into an equation..  use A and B for the running time variable for each
is -  =

anonymous · Answer

A is 36 minutes more than twice the running time for a movie B right here we have one clue

danjs · Answer

The running time for movie A   ---   A
  is  ---  =
 36 minutes more than ---  + 36
twice the running time for a movie B  ---  2*B
------------------------------------------

anonymous · Answer

If the running time for movie A is subtracted from triple the running time for movie B, the result is 58 minutes here is the second

danjs · Answer

the running time for movie A is subtracted from triple the running time for movie B --- B-A
the result is   ---   =
58 minutes ----  58

Yea this math is algebraic expression of problem values

anonymous · Answer

Idk if anyone is familiar with consecutive integers problems cause that's what this is.

anonymous · Answer

did you find out the answere

danjs · Answer

"The running time for movie A is 36 minutes more than twice the running time for a movie B"

        A = 2*B + 36

" If the running time for movie A is subtracted from triple the running time for movie B, the result is 58 minutes"

         B - A = 58

danjs · Answer

They gave you two equations that include the running times for A and B. You can solve that system of two equations for the two variables A and B

A = 2*B + 36
B - A = 58

danjs · Answer

Graphically, those are two lines in the coordinate plane. Each point is, (A,B).  The solution is the intersection of both solution sets, where the two lines cross, at the point (A,B), A=  and B=  some value.
