Pam likes to practice dancing while preparing for a math tournament. She spends 80 minutes every day practicing dance and math. To help her concentrate better, she dances 20 minutes more than she works on math. Part A: Write a pair of linear equations to show the relationship between the number of minutes Pam practices math every day (x) and the number of minutes she dances every day (y).

Pixel:

no she dances and does math in total for 80 minutes

Nevey:

dance AND math put together

Pixel:

she just dances 20 minutes more than she studies math

AngeI:

Derick hush

AngeI:

I did good on my collage math test e.e

Pixel:

College*

Nevey:

welp... then she would do an hour of dancing and 40 mins of math, right?

Pixel:

no

Pixel:

60 + 40 = 100 100 = 80

AngeI:

I would like to point out I slept less than 13 hours in the last 3 days, why you bully me Derick

Nevey:

congrates ang. thats more thn i get

Pixel:

I stayed up till 5 am vcing my gf everyday for 4 days getting up at 7 so 8 hours

Nevey:

anywayyyy

Pixel:

x + y = 80

Nevey:

ik that part, thats easy. so if its not what i said before, thn it means that it should look like 20x + 60y = 80

Nevey:

right?

Pixel:

no

Pixel:

60 - 20 = 40 40=20

Nevey:

damn

Pixel:

she does 20 minutes more so its x + y+20=80

Pixel:

x + (y+20) = 80

Nevey:

oh... ok thn it would look like 20x + (40y + 20) = 80 right?

Nevey:

sry, hard to see the stupid keyboard rn bc its dark. i should probs fix that

Pixel:

remove the variables

Pixel:

we tried to find x and y

Nevey:

is that the next step or would that be the answer?

Pixel:

i think its done but ask dude

AngeI:

Cant you actually just google this

Nevey:

google is blocked on my side

Nevey:

@dude heeelppp

Nevey:

next step: How much time does Pam spend on practicing math every day?

AngeI:

How did you get on here

Nevey:

wdym?

AngeI:

She dances 20 minutes more than math, keep that in mind. So dancing has to be 20 minutes higher. Pretty sure its 45 and 25

Nevey:

that doesnt make sense to me tho :/

AngeI:

So like 80 minutes is the total time right?

Nevey:

right

AngeI:

I messed up

Pixel:

45 + 25 = 70

AngeI:

DERICK IF YOU DONT STOp

Nevey:

yea thats y i was confused lol

Nevey:

ang chill lol :) reelllaaxxxaaaa lmao

Pixel:

JEEZ I MTRYING TO BE HELPFUL IMMA JUST GIVE UP FORGET WHAT I SAID ON THIS POST

AngeI:

Im sorry Im actually laughing

AngeI:

I shall fix my mistake one second

AngeI:

50 30

Nevey:

that would make more sense

Nevey:

last part: Is it possible for Pam to have spent 60 minutes practicing dance every day? Explain your reasoning.

AngeI:

Well it has to be 80 in total as well as dance has to be 20 minutes more

AngeI:

So that would mean in that case dance would have to be 40 minutes, 40+60 is not 80

Nevey:

k, so thats a no, correct? cause thats what i thought

AngeI:

Indeed

Nevey:

ok thx :)
