Tom takes two walks every day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and walks for a total of 5 ¼ hours in a 7-day week If he walks for 15 minutes each morning, how many minutes does he walk for each evening? Write an equation to represent this problem and then solve it. Show all your steps.

30 minutes each evening

Step-by-step explanation:

5.25 / 7 = 0.75 hours each day = 45 minutes

45 - 15  = 30 minutes

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
