The quantities include hours and minutes.
The the known and unknown quantities can be used to write an equation and this gives 60 minutes.
<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>
It should be noted that there are two different units of time measurement and these are hours and minutes. In this case, once can either convert the hours given to minutes or vice versa.
Therefore,
2 hours = 120 minutes, and
2.5 hours = 150 minutes.
If x represents the number of potatoes in the bucket, then the time to peel all of the potatoes on the first day will be 1.5x.
The quantity added to the 120 minutes spent making pies is the total elapsed time for the first day's work. The first days time is equal to the second day. This will be:
120 + 1.5x = 150 + x
1.5x - x = 150 - 120
0.5x = 30
x = 30/0.5 = 60
The time taken is 60 minutes.

Answer:
x=5, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
You simply write down what you see:
3x - 4y + 4x - 5y = 17
2x - 3y + 3x - 5y = 9
Then you simplify by grouping the x and the y terms:
7x - 9y = 17
5x - 8y = 9
Now you want to get equal amounts of x or y. Let's go for x. If we multiply the top eq with 5 and the bottom one with -7, we get:
35x - 45y = 85
-35x + 56y = -63
-------------------------+ now we can add them:
11y = 22 divide by -11
y = 2
So 7x - 18 = 17, x =5
Finally, it makes sense to double check by filling in these answers in the original equations, just to see if no mistakes were made:
3*5 - 4*2 = 7
4*5 - 5*2 = 10
7+10 = 17: ok!
2*5 - 3*2 = 4
3*5 - 5*2 = 5
4+5 = 9: ok!
It would be the bus goes 75 miles per hour while the car is going 95 miles per hour
52m^2= 2[(x-5)+(x)]. 52m^2= 2(2x-5). 52m^2=4x-10
