WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Max practices the piano and the guitar for a total of 150 minutes every day. He practices the guitar for 80 minutes longer than he practices the piano. Part A: Write a pair of linear equations to show the relationship between the number of minutes Max practices the guitar (x) and the number of minutes he practices the piano (y) every day. (5 points) Part B: How much time does Max spend practicing the piano every day? Show your work. (3 points) Part C: Is it possible for Max to have spent 125 minutes practicing the guitar if he practices for a total of exactly 150 minutes and practices the guitar for 80 minutes longer than he practices the piano? Explain your reasoning. (2 points)

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A) x + y = 150

y = x + 80

use substitution

x + (x + 80) = 150

2x + 80 = 150

2x = 70

x =35 practicing the guitar

then put x back in to solve for y

B) y = 35 + 80 = 115 minutes practicing the piano

C) no because 125 - 80 = 45 and 125 + 45 = 170, which is more than 150

days of the week

step-by-step explanation:

javier earned more money then kyle, so that won't always be a constant term, but the days of the week do not change so that term is always constant.

edit: i meant

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
