For this case we have that each student takes 8 \ frac {3} {4} minutes to perform and play 3 songs. Then, we convert the mixed number to a fraction:

Thus, each student takes
minutes.
If there are 9 students in the recital then we have:
minutes.
Thus, the recital lasts at least 78.75 minutes.
Answer:
The recital lasts at least 78.75 minutes.
The correct answer for the stated problem above is D.
Answer:
Correct my guy or gal.
Step-by-step explanation:
You first need to multiply the whole second equation by to. So, your two equations would then be -8x + 5y = -9 and 8x + 6y = -46. You then add the two equations to get 11y = -55. This would mean you get y = -5. Then you substitute -5 for y in the first equation. This would mean it would be -8x -25 = -9. Then you add 25 to both sides to get -8x = 16. Then you divide both sides by -8 to get x = -2.
