Answer:

A. x + y = 34; 10x + 15y = 410

Step-by-step explanation:

Jody's total hours will be the sum of the hours spent on each job:

x + y = 34 . . . . . total hours

Jody's total earnings will be the sum of the earnings from each job:

10x +15y = 410 . . . total earnings

So, the system of equations is ...

x + y = 34
10x + 15y = 410
