Question 1049037: According to statistics, a person will devote 35 years to sleeping and watching TV. The number of years sleeping will exceed the number of years watching TV by 19. Over the lifetime, how many years will the person spend on each of these activities? Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n represent the number of years watching TV. Then sleeping equals n+19. So:
n+n+19=35
2n=16
n=8
8 years are spent watching TV; 27 years are spent sleeping. ☺☺☺☺
