X: earn per  hour during the week
y: earn per hour during the weekend

13x + 14y = 250.90
15x + 8y = 204.70

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 7

52x + 56y = 1003.6
105x + 56y = 1432.90

Subtract the first equation from the second:

 53x = 429.30

x = 429.30/ 53
x = 8.10

Solve any of the equation for y:

15x + 8y = 204.70

y = [204.70 - 15(8.10)]/8 = 10.40

y - x = 10.40 -8.10 = 2.30

Answer: she earns $2.30 per hour more during the weekend than during the week.

◆ Quadratic Equations ◆<br>Please help !
Mila [183]
I'm sure there's an easier way of solving it than the way I did, but I'm not sure what it could be. Never dealt with a problem like this before.

Anyway, I just plugged in and tested. Chose random values for a, b, c, and d, which follow the rule 0 < a < b < c < d:

a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4

\sf ax^2+(1-a(b+c))x+abc-d)

\sf 1x^2+(1-1(2+3))x+(1)(2)(3)-(4))

Simplify into standard form:

\sf x^2+(1-1(5))x+6-4

\sf x^2+(1-5)x+2

\sf x^2-4x+2

Use the quadratic formula to solve:

\sf x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

For functions in the form of \sf ax^2+bx+c. So in this case:

a = 1
b = -4
c = 2

Plug them in:

\sf x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(2)}}{2(1)}

Solve for 'x':

\sf x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{16-8}}{2}

\sf x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{8}}{2}

\sf x\approx\dfrac{4\pm 2.83}{2}

\sf x\approx 0.59,3.41

So the answer would be A.
