minutes for sick visit denoted as y
The equation of Tuesday visit is
The equation of Wednesday visit is
by changing the signs of the equation 2 and subtract it from the equation 1 we will get 1y = 21 minutes
to substitute y =1 in the equation 2 we get
then now we have substitute both x = 49 and y= 21 in equation ----- 2
we will prove that
so the Tuesday appointment , the time allotted for an annual checkup is 147 minutes and for a sick visit is 42 minutes (Total 189 minutes)
