Step-by-step explanation:

1) let's say X will be next to our 15 dollars and y next to 18 dollars

15x + 18y = 252

it also tells us that the weekdays is 3 times as many hours as y. In other words:

x = 3y

2) As the question asks for the number of weekend hours, let's solve for y.

Here, it's easier to just substitute x in the original equation. If you put 3y as a replacement of x, the equation becomes:

(15*3y) + 18y = 252

expand to:

45y + 18y = 252

add on

63y = 252

divide both by 13

y=4

Therefore Vincent works 4 hours on the weekend so during the weeks he works 20 hours

$\bf y=\cfrac{k}{x}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
y=0.2\\
x=0.3
\end{cases}\implies 0.2=\cfrac{k}{0.3}\implies 0.2\cdot 0.3=k
\\\\\\
\textit{thus, the equation will be}\quad y=\cfrac{0.06}{x}$

The answer is 0.5.

X is the input and f(x) is the output. Between -3 and -2 the difference is 0.5. Because it goes from -0.5 to 1
