Determine the length of Teresa's workout plans A and B given the number of clients and total training hours on Friday and Saturday. Plan A: \square hour(s) Plan B: \square hour(s)

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. On Friday, 5 clients did Plan A and 3 clients did Plan B.
2. On Saturday, 7 clients did Plan A and 9 clients did Plan B.
3. Teresa trained her Friday clients for a total of 6 hours.
4. Teresa trained her Saturday clients for a total of 12 hours.
5. Each client does only one plan, either Plan A or Plan B.

STEP 2

Let's denote the length of each Plan A workout as xx hours and the length of each Plan B workout as yy hours.

STEP 3

Using the information given for Friday, we can set up the first equation based on the total hours Teresa trained her clients:
5x+3y=65x + 3y = 6

STEP 4

Using the information given for Saturday, we can set up the second equation based on the total hours Teresa trained her clients:
7x+9y=127x + 9y = 12

STEP 5

We now have a system of two linear equations with two variables:
\begin{align*} 5x + 3y &= 6 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \\ 7x + 9y &= 12 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \end{align*}

STEP 6

To solve this system of equations, we can use either the substitution method or the elimination method. Let's use the elimination method to find the values of xx and yy.

STEP 7

First, we'll try to eliminate one of the variables by making the coefficients of either xx or yy the same in both equations. Let's eliminate yy by multiplying Equation 1 by 3 and Equation 2 by 1.

STEP 8

Multiply Equation 1 by 3:
3(5x+3y)=3(6)3(5x + 3y) = 3(6)

STEP 9

Multiply Equation 2 by 1 (which doesn't change it):
1(7x+9y)=1(12)1(7x + 9y) = 1(12)

STEP 10

Write down the new system of equations after multiplication:
\begin{align*} 15x + 9y &= 18 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \\ 7x + 9y &= 12 \quad \text{(Equation 4)} \end{align*}

STEP 11

Now, subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3 to eliminate yy:
15x+9y(7x+9y)=181215x + 9y - (7x + 9y) = 18 - 12

STEP 12

Perform the subtraction:
15x7x+9y9y=181215x - 7x + 9y - 9y = 18 - 12

STEP 13

Simplify the equation:
8x=68x = 6

STEP 14

Divide both sides by 8 to solve for xx:
x=68x = \frac{6}{8}

STEP 15

Simplify the fraction:
x=34x = \frac{3}{4}

STEP 16

Now that we have the value of xx, we can substitute it back into one of the original equations to solve for yy. Let's use Equation 1:
5x+3y=65x + 3y = 6

STEP 17

Substitute x=34x = \frac{3}{4} into Equation 1:
5(34)+3y=65\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) + 3y = 6

STEP 18

Multiply 5 by 34\frac{3}{4}:
154+3y=6\frac{15}{4} + 3y = 6

STEP 19

Convert 6 to a fraction with the same denominator as 154\frac{15}{4} to simplify the equation:
154+3y=244\frac{15}{4} + 3y = \frac{24}{4}

STEP 20

Subtract 154\frac{15}{4} from both sides to solve for 3y3y:
3y=2441543y = \frac{24}{4} - \frac{15}{4}

STEP 21

Subtract the fractions:
3y=943y = \frac{9}{4}

STEP 22

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for yy:
y=94÷3y = \frac{9}{4} \div 3

STEP 23

Simplify the division:
y=94×13y = \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}

STEP 24

Multiply the fractions:
y=912y = \frac{9}{12}

STEP 25

Simplify the fraction:
y=34y = \frac{3}{4}

STEP 26

We have found that both Plan A and Plan B workouts last 34\frac{3}{4} hour, which is equivalent to 45 minutes.
Length of each Plan A workout: 34\frac{3}{4} hour(s) Length of each Plan B workout: 34\frac{3}{4} hour(s)
