Answer:
t = 20 + q (minutes)
Step-by-step explanation:
The meeting consists of speaking and Question & Answer (Q&A) sessions.
Speaking session = 20 minutes
Q&A session = q minutes
Total number of minutes spent for the two sessions = 20 + q (minutes)
But total number of minutes meeting lasted = t minutes.
Therefore, t = 20 + q (because they both represent the total number of minutes the meeting lasted)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor using Rational Root Theorem.
This means our possible roots are
positve or negative (1,2,3,6). If we try positve 1, it is indeed a root.
This means that

is a root.
We can divide the top equation by the root (x-1). Our new equation is

Now we can factor this completely

So this equation in factored form is

I think that using the elimination method is the best, because it is the only method that I use when solving these types of equation. For example, for these two equations, you need to multiply one of the equations by a certain number so that you'd be able to find x and y. The elimination method is the method that tells you to do that. It is also the easiest method.
