Please Help Will Give Brainliest Eric plays basketball and volleyball for a total of 95 minutes every day. He plays basketball 25 minutes more than he plays volleyball.

Part A: Write a pair of linear equations to show the relationship between the number of minutes Eric plays basketball (x) and the number of minutes he plays volleyball (y) every day.

Part B: How much time does Eric spend playing volleyball every day?

Part C: Is it possible for Eric to have spent 35 minutes playing basketball every day? Explain your reasoning.

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Eric plays basketball and volleyball for a total of 95 minutes every day.

He plays basketball 25 minutes more than he plays volleyball.

Solving the first equation by substituting x:

Then finding x:

Eric spends 35 minutes on volleyball every day and 60 minutes on basketball

Eric spends 35 minutes on playing volleyball as found above. If he spends 35 minutes on basketball, then we should have:

35 + 35 = 70, which should be 95 minutes

or x = y = 35 which makes the second equation false.

So the answer is NO.

the correct answer is option c.   3

step-by-step explanation:

points to remember

equation of the line with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

from the figure we can see a line with two coordinates given

to find the slope of given line

here   (x₁, y₁)   = (-1, -1 ) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

  = (5 - -1)/(1 - -1)

  = (5 + 1)/(1 + 1)

  = 6/2 = 3

therefore the correct answer is option c.   3
