sign, 25 per hour as a blacksmith. Last week, Giselle worked both jobs for a total of 3 0 3030 hours, and earned a total of $ 6 9 0 $690dollar sign, 690. How long did Giselle work as a carpenter last week, and how long did she work as a blacksmith?
She worked as a carpenter for 12 hours and as a blacksmith for 18 hours.
Assuming you mean she earned $20 as a carpenter and $25 as a blacksmith per hour, with a total of 30 hours for $690, let c represent carpenter hours and b for blacksmith hours.
20c + 25b = 690 c + b = 30 Subtract b from each side so that c = 30 - b Plug this value into the first equation
