Let's define a system of linear equations that represents the above problem.

A: Number of hours of workout in plan A

B: Number of hours of workout in plan B


\begin{gathered} 3A+5B=10 \\ 6A+2B=10 \end{gathered}

The goal here is to solve

3A+5B=10 and

6A+2B=10 for the variables A and B.

The solutions to your equations are:

A = 5/4 hour

B = 5/4 hour
