Question

At every company meeting, the president speaks for 28 minutes and then takes questions from her employees. Let q represent the number of minutes she spends answering questions and t represent the total number of minutes the meeting lasts.

Answer 1

t = 20 + q in minutes

Explanation:

Company meeting = president speech + questions + answers

President speech = 20 minutes

Questions and answers = q minutes

Total time spent = t minutes

Total time spent = President speech + Total time spent

t = 20 + q

The equation that represents the relationship between q and t is

t = 20 + q in minutes
