Answer: .............> y = 45 - x

Step-by-step 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 :)
