Greg the trainer has two solo workout plans that he offers his clients: Plan A and Plan B. Each client does either one or the ot

her (not both). On Wednesday there were 3 clients who did Plan A and 5 who did Plan B. On Thursday there were 9 clients who did Plan A and 7 who did Plan B. Greg trained his Wednesday clients for a total of 6 hours and his Thursday clients for a total of 12 hours. How long does each of the workout plans last?

This problem can be solved by algebraic method.
Let
x = the total time spent of all clients in Plan A
y = the total time spent of all clients in Plan B
We represent two variables x and y because there are two plans that won't be happened simultaneously.
On Wednesday, the two workout plans have the total time of 6 hours. We equate
3x + 5y = 6
While on Thursday, the total time is 12 hours. We also equate
9x + 7y = 12

To find x and y, we can use the substitution method. For the first equation, we arrange it in terms of y, that is
5y = 6 - 3x
y = (6 - 3x)/5

Substitute it to the second equation:
9x + (7/5)(6 - 3x) = 12
9x + (42/5) - (21/5)x = 12
Multiply the equation by 5 to cancel the denominator:
45x + 42 - 21x = 60
45x - 21x = 60 - 42
24x = 18
x = 18/24 = 3/4 hours

For y:
3(3/4) + 5y = 6
9/4 + 5y = 6
Multiply the equation by 4 to cancel the denominator:
9 + 20y = 24
20y = 24 - 9
20y = 15
y = 15/20 = 3/4 hours

Hence, each workout plans are done within 3/4 hours (or 45 minutes).

What is the equation for this line
pogonyaev

The equation of the line is y=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{21}{5}.

Solution:

The points on the line are (–6, –3) and (4, –5).

 x_{1}=-6, y_{1}=-3, x_{2}=4, y_{2}=-5

Slope of the line:

 $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

 $m=\frac{-5-(-3)}{4-(-6)}

 $m=\frac{-5+3}{4+6}

$m=\frac{-2}{10}

$m=\frac{-1}{5}

Point-slope formula:

 y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)

 $y-(-3)=\frac{-1}{5}(x-(-6))

 $y+3=\frac{-1}{5}(x+6)

 $y+3=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{6}{5}

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

$y=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{21}{5}

The equation of the line is  y=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{21}{5}.
