Answer:

A. y = x + 25

x + y = 75

B. 25 minutes

C. 50 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the variables:

If Jackie dances 25 minutes more than she runs:

[tex]\implies y=x+25[/tex]

If Jackie runs and dances for 75 minutes:

[tex]\implies x+y=75[/tex]

Substitute the first equation into the second equation and solve for x:

[tex]\implies x+(x+25)=75[/tex]

[tex]\implies 2x+25=75[/tex]

[tex]\implies 2x+25-25=75-25[/tex]

[tex]\implies 2x=50[/tex]

[tex]\implies 2x\div 2=50 \div 2[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=25[/tex]

Therefore, Jackie spends 25 minutes running everyday.

Substitute the found value of x into the first equation and solve for y:

[tex]\implies y=25+25[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=50[/tex]

Therefore, the greatest amount of time Jackie could spend dancing every day, given she will take a run, is 50 minutes.
