Answer:

The number of days when Kimmy play for two hours a day is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of days when Kimmy play for two hours a day be x. So, the number of days when Kimmy play for three hours a day is 9-x.

It is given that Kimmy has played video games 24 hours over the last 9 days.

[tex]2(x)+3(9-x)=24[/tex]

[tex]2x+27-3x=24[/tex]

[tex]-x+27=24[/tex]

Subtract 27 from both the sides.

[tex]-x=24-27[/tex]

[tex]-x=-3[/tex]

[tex]x=3[/tex]

Therefore the number of days when Kimmy play for two hours a day is 3.
