Answer:

He spent 6 minutes more checking emails on Monday

Step-by-step explanation:

we have


y=0.625x-2.7

where

x ----> the number of emails

y ----> the number of minutes

we know that

On Tuesday, Kahlil checked 35 emails

so

For x=35

substitute in the equation and solve for y


y=0.625(35)-2.7


y=19.175\ minutes

Round to the nearest minute


y=19\ minutes

Compare the times

On Monday, Kahlil spent 25 minutes

On Tuesday, Kahlil spent 19 minutes

25-19=6 minutes

therefore

He spent 6 minutes more checking emails on Monday
