At a tournament, 2 different games went on for a total of 93 mins. If 1 game took 13 mins longer than the other, how long did it take to complete each game.
x + x+13 = 93
Thanks!
40+(40+13)=93
40+53=93
correct!
To find out how long each game took, we can use algebra. Let's assume the shorter game took x minutes.
According to the problem, the other game took 13 minutes longer than the shorter game. So, the longer game took x + 13 minutes.
We know that the total time for both games combined is 93 minutes. So, we can write an equation based on this information:
x + (x + 13) = 93
Simplifying the equation, we get:
2x + 13 = 93
Subtracting 13 from both sides, we get:
2x = 80
Finally, dividing both sides by 2, we find:
x = 40
Therefore, the shorter game took 40 minutes, and the longer game took 40 + 13 = 53 minutes.
