Answer:

a = 1, b = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = 4

a - b = -2 Adding to eliminate b:

2a = 2

a = 1

So 1 + b = 4

giving b = 3.

An automotive technician has two job offers. Shop A would pay him a straight salary of $900 per week. Shop B would pay him $25 p

JulsSmile [24]

Given,

The salary for the technician from shop A is $900 per week.

The salary for the technician from shop B is $25 per hour.

The equation for the total pay for shop B is,

$\text{Total pay= salary of per hour}\times number\text{ of hour worked}$

Taking the total pay as 900. As, to make the shop A and shop B equal.

$\begin{gathered} 900=25\times Number\text{ of hour worked} \\ Number\text{ of hour worked}=\frac{900}{25}=36 \end{gathered}$

Hence, he would have to log 36 hours during a week at Shop B in order to match the salary at Shop A.
