Wednesday 3A +2B = 7
Thursday: 8A +4B = 17
multiply 1st equation by 2 and subtract result from 2nd equation
8A -6A = 17-14 = 3
2A = 3
A = 3/2 = 1.5 hours = 1 hour and 30 minutes for Plan A
B = (7-3(1.5))/2 = (7-4.5)/2 = 2.5/2 = 1.25 hours = 1 hours and 15 minutes for Plan B

3(3/2) + 2(5/4) = 9/2 +5/2 = 14/2 = 7 hours on Wednesday
8(3/2) +4(5/4) = 12 +5 = 17 hours on Thursday
