Gotcha.

We know Sean spent 15 more minutes than Faith.

So, we know this to be true:


Sean = 15 + Faith


We also know that Sean and Faith spent a TOTAL time of 55 minutes on homework.

So, we have this:

Sean + Faith = 55


We can solve for Faith's time spent in homework now since we have two equations.


Here are the two equations we have:

Sean = 15 + Faith

Sean + Faith = 55

To make solving for Faith easier, I'm going to rearrange the second equation to this:

55 = Sean + Faith


Now, we solve the problem.


Sean = 15 + Faith

55 = Sean + Faith

We know what Sean is, he is 15 + Faith.

So, we can plug in 15 + Faith into Sean in the second equation.


55 = 15 + Faith + Faith

Simplify:


55 = 15 + 2Faith

55 - 15 = 15 - 15 + 2Faith

(I subtracted 15 from both sides)

40 = 2Faith

Now, divide by 2 on both sides to get Faith's time.

40 ÷ 2 = 2Faith ÷ 2

20 = Faith



If you have any questions or comments then please post them. Otherwise, good luck, and I hope this was useful!

If anyone could help out with this one i would really appreciate it <br><br> f(2)=?
algol13

Answer:

f(2) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Function f(t) is defined in three different ways depending on the value of t.

For t = 8, function f(t) is -64/t.

For t = 10, function f(t) is 14 - t.

We are not asked about f(8) or f(10). We are asked about f(2). The third definition of function f(t) is for all values of t that are not 8 or 10. 2 is not 8 or 10, so use the third definition of function f(t) and plug in 2 for t.

f(t) = t^2 - 3t + 2 for t not equal to 8 or 10.

f(2) = 2^2 - 3(2) + 2

f(2) = 4 - 6 + 2

f(2) = 0
