On​ average, Americans spend 17.5 hr per month watching videos on both channel 1 and 2. They spend 4.5 more hours watching videos on channel 1 than they do on channel 2. How much time do they spend on​ each?
----
N + T = 17.5 hr
N = T + 4.5
---------------------------
Solve for "T"::
T + 4.5 = 17.5 - T
------
2T = 22
T = 11 hrs (# of hrs spent watching Ch. Two)
----
N = 17.5-11 = 6.5 hrs (# of hrs spent watching Ch. oNe)
-----------
