Question

8. Jose attended a total of 8 baseball and soccer games this spring. It took him 2 hours to travel to baseball games and 1 hour to travel to Soccer games. He spent 15 hours traveling to the games. Write a system of equations to represent this situation.

Answer 1

Let B be the number of baseball games that Jose attended, and S be the number of soccer games that José attended, then from the part of the question that says that:"Jose attended a total of 8 baseball and soccer" we know that:

`B+S=8`

and from the part of the problem that says that: " It took him 2 hours to travel to baseball games and 1 hour to travel to Soccer games. He spent 15 hours traveling to the games."

we obtain the second equation, which is:

`2B+S=15`

then the system is both previus equations.
