Let X = science homework.

Then math homework would be 3x ( three times as long).

Now you have math plus science = 64 minutes:

x  + 3x = 64

Combine like terms:

4x = 64

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 64 / 4

x = 16

He spent 16 minutes on science and 48 minutes on math.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(3/2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x

8x + y = 18

this says y is 4x so you can replace y with 4x

8x + 4x = 18

12x = 18

/12      /12

  x  = 3/2


now sub x into y = 4(3/2)

y = 12/2

y = 6
