Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
3:15 pm - start of first showing.
30 minutes break;
20 minutes late - 2nd showing.
4:50 - start of second showing.
4:50 - 0:20 = 4:30 should be the start of the second showing.
4:00 - 4:30 = 1/2 hour break
3:15 - 4:00 = duration of the 1st showing. 45 minutes in all.
4:50 + 0:45 = 5:35 pm end of the 2nd showing.
Yes, the 2nd showing will be over by 6:30 pm.
To solve the set of equations given above, we can use the substitution method where we substitute one equation to the other and solving for one variable. We do as follows:
<span>0.4x - 0.1y = 2
x = 5 + 0.25y
0.2x + 0.5y = 1
</span>0.2(5 + 0.25y)+ 0.5y = 1
y = 0
x = 5
Therefore, the correct answer from the choices is option A, (5,0).
