let soccer = x and golf = y
part a
1st equation: x + y = 125
2nd equation: x = y +45
part b
replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:
y + 45 + y = 125
simplify:
2y + 45 = 125
subtract 45 from each side:
2y = 80
divide both sides by 2:
y = 80/2
y = 40
she plays golf for 40 minutes.
part c
no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 = 85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
