Call b the amount of babysitting hours and 5 the amount of gardening hours.
10b+5g=80
b+g=12
Subtract 5 times the second equation from the first to get:
5b=20
Thus, b=4. g=12-4, or 8. Therefore, Sarah spends 4 hours babysitting and the rest gardening.
The equation is:
and Julianne will begin making a profit after 168 days.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
Her total start-up cost is $52,000.
Each day, she spends $650 on operating costs (like utilities and wages) and she earns $960 per day from her students' lesson fees.
If the number of days to overcome the start-up cost is
, then
the total operation cost spent in
days
and
the total students' lesson fees earned in
days 
<em><u>Part A:</u></em> The equation to represent the situation will be:
<u><em>Part B:</em></u><em> </em><em> </em>Julianne will begin making a profit when....

So, Julianne will begin making a profit after 168 days.
