Question

Gian is allowed to spend 45minutes on the computer after dinner. He spends his entire 45minutes either watching videos or playing games. Write an equation for the number of minutes Gian spends playing games, y , if he spends x minutes watching videos.

Answer 1

here you go. i believe this is the answer
$45 - x = y$

Answer 2

Answer:  .............> y = 45 - x  

Explanation:  

We are given that:  

Time spent watching videos is x minutes while time spent playing games is y minutes  

We also know that the total time spent on both is 45 minutes  

This means that  x + y = .............> 45  

Now, we want to solve the equation for y. To do so, we will simply subtract "x" from both sides of the equation  

This will give us .............> y = 45 - x

Hope this helps :)
