Question 1046487: On average, Americans spend 12.5 hr per month watching videos on both channel 1 and 2. They spend 5.5 more hours watching videos on channel 1 than they do on channel 2. How much time do they spend on each? please show work. Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let channel 1 be x and 2 be y
:
x+y = 12.5 (1)
and
x = y+5.5 Substitute in (1):
y+5.5+y = 12.5
2y = 7
y = 3.5 is the time they spend watching channel 2
And channel 1?
3.5+5.5 = 9 hours is the time they spend watching channel 1
