X = 1st job
y = 2nd job

x + y = 22......x = 22 - y
7x + 8.25y = 171.50

7(22 - y ) + 8.25y = 171.50
154 - 7y + 8.25y = 171.50
-7y + 8.25y = 171.50 - 154
1.25y = 17.50
y = 17.50 / 1.25
y = 14 <== 14 hrs at the 8.25 per hr job

x + y = 22
x + 14 = 22
x = 22 - 14
x = 8 <=== 8 hrs at the 7 per hr job

What is the distance between points S and U if S is 2, 1 and U is 6, 8
balandron [24]

The distance formula is:

D = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

D= sqrt ((6-2)^2 + (8-1)^2)

D = sqrt(4^2 + 7^2)

D = sqrt( 16 + 49)

D = sqrt(65)

D = 8.06

Rounded to the beat tenth = 8.1 units.

The answer is C. 8.1 units
