Question

In a certain week, the time Lisa spent on

sport was 3 hours less than twice the time
she spent doing her school homework. The
time she spent on reading was of the time
she spent doing her school homework. The
total time she spent on these three
activities was 30 hours in that week. Form
an equation and solve it to find the amount

Answer 1

2M + 3 hrs

Explanation:

Lisa spent doing her mathematics homework = M hrs

the amount of time spent watching television was 3 hours more than twice the time she spent doing her mathematics homework.

lisa spent on watching television = 2M + 3 hrs

Total time spent on these two activities = M + 2M + 3

= 3M + 3 hrs

3 M + 3 = 30

=> 3M = 27

M = 9
