Answer:

t = 28 minutes

Explanation:

Last Saturday, Camila practiced her dance routines for her upcoming competition. She spent some time practicing her tap routine, and then she spent 17 minutes practicing her hip-hop routine. In all, she practiced for 45 minutes. Let t be the number of minutes that Camila practiced her tap routine. Write and solve an equation to find t.

45 minutes = Number of minutes for hip-hop routine + Number of minutes for tap dance

The equation is given as

45 = 17 + t

Solving for t

t = 45 - 17

t = 28 minutes

Shes spent 28 minutes tap dancing
