Answer:

Xena earns $144 per a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Harry earns - $ h

Xena earns - $ x

George earns -$ g

Harry earns $45 a week more than Xena.      h= x+45

George earns $18 a week less than Xena.     g = x - 18

If Harry earns the same amount in two weeks that George earns in three weeks

2h = 3g

So, we have the system of 3 equations:

h= x+45

g = x - 18

2h = 3g    (*)

Substitute values of h and g into equation (*)

2(x+45) = 3(x-18)

2x + 90 = 3x - 54

90+54 = 3x- 2x

x= 144

spin [16.1K]
Well, is just their difference, let's first convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and then subtract.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 8+1}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{8}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\cfrac{9}{8}-\cfrac{3}{4}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is then 8}\implies \cfrac{(1\cdot 9)~~-~~(2\cdot 3)}{8}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{9-6}{8}\implies \cfrac{3}{8}
