Answer:
80 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
let d represent doug, let l represent laura
first, set up a system of equations representing the problem:
since doug spent 10 less than twice the hours laura did, and we know that the total amount of hours they spent together is 230:
l=2d+10
d+l=230
then solve:
*first i rearranged the equations so i can solve this system of equations using elimination method*
l-2d=10
l+d=230
*subtract*
3d=240
d=80
so, doug spent 80 hours in the lab
