Answer:Jacob runs on the treadmill for 45 minutes and he does free hand exercises for 15 minutes.

Equation

Equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of minutes Jacob runs on treadmill and y represent the number of minutes on free hand exercise.

Since he spends 60 minute, hence:

x + y = 60    (1)

Also:

x = y + 30   (2)

From equation 1 and 2:

x = 45, y = 15

Jacob runs on the treadmill for 45 minutes and he does free hand exercises for 15 minutes.
