So firstly let’s set a ‘algebra’
Let’s make the hours working after school as ‘x’
So Chase works totally 18 hours last week
So the hours he works on Saturday is (18-x)
And given the salary of working after school is $8 per hour,and the salary of working on Saturday is $10,and he earned $156
So with these we can write a equation
8x+10(18-x)=156
solve it,
8x+180-10x=156
-2x=-24
X=12
as I said x is the hour working after school
The hour working on Saturday should be 18-x
18-12=6
Answer is 6

One day, he bought 10 pairs of socks for $2.50 each and 3 pairs of shoes for dollars each. He
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

2.50(10) + 3x = 135.97, x = 38.66

Step-by-step explanation:

This should be pretty simple.

Basically, we know that he bought 10 pairs for 2.50 so that's $25 right there.

Our total is 135.97 though-

so here, we take our total from the right side of the equation, and subtract 25 from that.

135.97 - 25 = 115.97

Since he bought three pairs, divide it by 3.

115.97 / 3 = 38.66

One pair of shoes costs $38.66 - hope this helps!
