I need help for a project! What would the variables be defined as!?
Marvin burned 8 calories per minute on a treadmill and 10 calories
per minute on an elliptical trainer for a total of 560 calories in 60
minutes. Write and solve a system of linear equations to determine
how many minutes he spent on each machine.

Respuesta :

2  1/5x * 1 7/10 y  *  4  3/5 x 1 7/10  (* 7 4/50)

Finds the answer  

10 6/50x  *  7  41/50y   (* 7/4/50)  = 56

79 13/100  (* 7 4/50)  = 56

560  = 56 (10x)

x = 5 6/10

7 (y) = 56 (7y)

8 = 56/7  (y)

y = 8

x = 5 6/10

6/10 of 560  = 336  

336/60 = x

336/60 = 5 6/10
