--------------------------------
H rate = 150 words/min
P rate = 190 words/min
-----
Note:: rate*time = words
Polish words - Hungarian words = 270
---------------------------
Words Equation::190P - 150H = 270
Time Equation:: P + H = 5
--------------------
Modify::
19P - 15H = 27
19P + 19H = 95
------
Subtract and solve for "H":
34H = 68
H = 2 minutes (time speaking Hungarian); 2*150 = 300 Hungarian words
P = 3 min (time speaking Polish); 3*190 = 570 Polish words
