C. It is not possible.

How to Write a System of Linear Equations?

A system of equations consist of linear equations that have unknown variables whose values make the linear equations in the system true.

Part A: To write a pair of linear equations, do the following,

Let x represent the time Jackie runs

Let y represent the time Jackie dances

We are given that, Jackie runs and dances for a total of 55 minutes every day, therefore, the first linear equation would be:

x + y = 55 --> equation 1

We are also given that Jackie dances for 25 minutes longer than she runs, therefore, the second linear equation would be:

y = x + 25 --> equation 2

Therefore, the two pair of linear equations that shows the relationship between the number of minutes Jackie runs and dances everyday are:

x + y = 55

y = x + 25

Part B: Substitute y = (x + 25) into equation 1

x + y = 55 --> equation 1

x + x + 25 = 55

2x + 25 = 55

2x = 55 - 25

2x = 30

x = 15

Therefore, the number of time she spend running everyday is: 15 minutes.

Part C:

If she spent 45 minutes dancing (y = 45), and x = 15, substitute the values into x + y = 55 to find out if it is possible.

15 + 45 = 55

60 = 55 (not true)

Therefore, it is not possible.
