2x + 18y = 36
Solving
2x + 18y = 36
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-18y' to each side of the equation.
2x + 18y + -18y = 36 + -18y
Combine like terms: 18y + -18y = 0
2x + 0 = 36 + -18y
2x = 36 + -18y
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 18 + -9y
Simplifying
x = 18 + -9y</span>
The second showing had begun at 5:25. And there had been a 1/2 hour (30 minutes) break before it. So we substract this break from 5:25 and we get 4:55 - the time when the first showing had ended.
So the first showing had begun at 2:30 and had ended at 4:55. By substracting 2:30 from 4:55 we get 2:25 - that's the duration of the video.
The answer is 2 hours and 25 minutes.
