While going on a date to the movies, you offer to buy the snacks. You plan to buy two packs of candy (one for each of you) and a large popcorn to share. If you have 15 dollars and a large popcorn costs 7 dollars, what’s the most you can spend on a pack of candy? $3.50

$4.00

$6.50

$8.00

the last one

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
