Answer 1

Answer: 60 hours.

Explanation:

Let be "x" the amount of hours Nick practice in March and "y" the amount of hours Nick plans to practice in April.

Set up a system of equations:

`\left \{ {{x=42} \atop {y=x+18}} \right.`

Applying the Substitution Method, we can substitute the first equation into the second equation in order to find the value of "y". Therefore you get this result:

`y=x+18\\\\y=(42)+18\\\\y=60`
