    There would be 38 time slots on Saturday and 24 slots on Sunday

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to find the amount of slots on Saturday and Sunday, we need to set up the system of equations. To do so, start by setting Saturday as x and Sunday as y. Now we can write the first equation to show the total number of slots.

    Saturday + Sunday = 62

    x + y = 62

    Now we can write a second one that shows the difference in the number of Saturday and Sunday slots.

    Saturday - Sunday = 14

    x - y = 14

    Now we can add the two equations together to solve for x.

    x + y = 62

    x - y = 14

    2x = 76

    x = 38

    Now that we have the number of Saturday slots, we can find the number of Sunday slots by using either equation.

    x + y = 62

    38 + y = 62

    y = 24
