Question

T = p + 50

The variable p represents the number phone calls she routes, and the variable t represents
the number of minutes she is on the phone. In all, how many phone calls does Shivani have
to route to spend a total of 93 minutes on the phone?

Answer 1

The only way i can think of working out this question is this:

t = time p = phone calls

insert what we know:-

93 = p + 50

make P on its own:-

take away 50 from each side

43 = p

switch (you don’t HAVE to do this) :-

p = 43

So, shivani has to route a total of 43 phone calls to spend a total of 93 minutes on the phone.
