The running time for movie a is 40 minutes more than twice the running time for movie b. if the running time for movie a is subtracted from triple the running time for movie b, the result is 45 minutes. find the running times for each movie.

3b - a = 45
a = 2b + 40

Solve simultaneously.

3b - (2b + 40) = 45
3b - 2b - 40 = 45
b = 45 + 40
b = 95min (1 hour 35 min)

a = 2 (95) + 40
a = 230min ( 3 hour 50 min)

The answer is lol i dont know

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
