A) x + y = 110
x - y = 40
B) Melvin swims for 35 minutes every day.
C) It is not possible
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Let x denote the duration for which Melvin plays tennis and y denote the duration for which he swims
Step 2 :
Part A :
Given that the total duration for which he plays and tennis is 110 minutes
so we have x + y = 110
Also given that he plays tennis for 40 minutes more than he swims
So, x = y+ 40 =>x-y = 40
So the linear pair of equations are
x + y = 110
x-y = 40
Step 3 :
Part B
Solving the above 2 equations we have
y+40+y = 110 = > 2y+ 40 = 110 = > y = 2y = 70 = >35
x = y+40 = 35+ 40 = 75
So Melvin plays tennis for 75 minutes and swims for 35 minutes every day.
Step 4 :
Part C
Given he plays and swims for 110 mins exactly, i.e x + y = 110
If Melvin plays tennis for 70 minutes , then x = 70, then the time for which he can swim is 110 - 70 = 40 mins.
He gets only 40 mins for swimming which is not 40 mins more than he plays tennis .
So this case is not possible.

Hello Hdolly81
<u><em>The LCM of 156 and 321 is 16692</em></u>
Backup:
156: 2,2,3,13,
321: 3,107
2 * 2 * 3 * 13 * 107 = 16692

Answer: </h3><h3>
Yes, the triangles are similar</h3><h3>
AC = 6</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
Focus on triangle ABC. Let's find the missing angle
A+B+C = 180
113+B+22 = 180
B+135 = 180
B = 180-135
B = 45
Between the triangles, have two pairs of angles that are congruent
A = D = 113
B = E = 45
Which is enough to prove the triangles are similar through the angle angle (AA) similarity theorem. This must mean that C = F = 22
Since we have A pair with D, and B pair with E, this means that
The order of the letters is important so we know how the angles pair up. The first letters pair up together, the second letters pair up, and so on.
Consequently, this means sides BC and EF pair up and AC and DF pair up
We can then say...
BC/EF = AC/DF
18/12 = x/4
18*4 = 12*x
72 = 12x
12x = 72
x = 72/12
x = 6
AC = 6
