Question

Brian's final exam in math had two parts. He had a total of 60 minutes to complete the entire exam. He spent 15 minutes on Part 1 of the exam. Write and solve an equation to show how much time he had left to complete Part 2.

m over 15 equals 60; m = 900 minutes
m − 15 = 60; m = 75 minutes
15 + m = 60; m = 45 minutes
15m = 60; m = 4 minutes

Answer 1

15 + m = 60; m = 45 minutes

Explanation:

Hello!

According to the question He had a total of 60 minutes to complete the entire exam. He spent 15 minutes on Part 1 of the exam. how much time he had left to complete Part 2.

Let's make an equation where the time spent on part 1 which is 15 + m which is minutes remaining for part 2 is equal to Total minutes which is 60 minutes

So, if we put it together;

15 + m = 60

So, let's solve for m

15 + m = 60

Substract 15 from both sides

15 - 15 + m= 60 - 15

m = 45

So, the equation is 15 + m = 60 and he had 45 minutes of time remaining to complete part 2.

Answer 2

Your answer is 15+m=60; m=45
