Answer:

3x=y

3x-y=0

(y-75)+(X+25)=90

3x-y+X+y=0+140

4x=140

X=35(girls)

y=105(boys)

children were in the museum at first? *=35+105

Natasha_Volkova [10]
We can say that x is the amount of time of the first (easier) part of the hike. Ans t is the amount of time of the second ( more difficult ) part of the hike.
x = 2 - t
And:
3 x + 1.5 t = 5
Answer:
The equation is:
3 * ( 2 - t ) + 1.5 t = 5
We can also solve this equation:
6 - 3 t + 1.5 t = 5
1.5 t = 1
t = 0.66 h = 2/3 h = 40 min.
