Answer:

Both plans last for 1.25 hours (1 hour 15 minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x hours be the time needed for plan A and y hours be the time needed for plan B.

On Wednesday there were 5 clients who did Plan A and 3 who did Plan B. Thus, 5x+3y=10.

On Thursday there were 2 clients who did Plan A and 6 who did Plan B. Thus, 2x+6y=10.

Solve the sytem of two equation. Multiply the first equation by 2, the second by 5 and subtract them:

[tex]10x+6y-10x-30y=20-50,\\ \\-24y=-30,\\ \\y=\dfrac{30}{24}=\dfrac{5}{4}=1.25\ hours.[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]5x+3\cdot 1.25=10,\\ \\5x=10-3.75=6.25,\\ \\x=1.25\ hours.[/tex]
