To find the hourly rate, divide the total amount earned by total number of hours worked:
237.60 / 33 = 7.2
The hourly rate is $7.20

Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years.

Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth!
