Two friends decide to rent an apartment and split the cost evenly. they each paid $575 towards the total move in cost of first and last month's rent and a security deposit. if the apartment cost $325 per month to rent, how much was the security deposit? a. $125 b. $250 c. $500 d. $825 select the best answer from the choices provided

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
