Question 985542: don practiced3 hours longer than marcus. together they practiced a total of 11 hours.how many hours did each young man practice? Answer by ThePhysicsMathGuru(3) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = don
Since Marcus practiced 3 hours longer than don he is x + 3
Combined they practiced 11 hours = x + x + 3
so 2x + 3 = 11; 2x = 8; x = 4
So Don practiced 4 hours and Marcus practiced 7.
