This is simple algebra :)
First, we can write the question as an algebraic equation.
Given that Doug spent 40 more hours than Laura, we can represent Laura as (x) and Doug as (x+40).
"Doug and Laura spent a combined 250 hours." So we can write this as
(x) + (x+40) = 250
Now simplify:
2x + 40 = 250
Solve x by subtracting 40 from both sides of the equation:
2x = 210
Therefore:
x = 210/2
= 105
So Laura (x) spent 105 hours!

Answer:
y = x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x + b
when x = 0, y = 6. so....
6 = (0) + b
6 = b
so, y = x + 6
