Answer:

J = 32

E = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

E is the number of hours for the Escobar family

J is the number of hours for the Johnson family

E + J = 32

E * 20 + J * 30 = 960

Multiply the first equation by -20 so we can use elimination

-20 E -20 J = -640

Add this to the second equation

E * 20 + J * 30 = 960

-20 E -20 J = -640

---------------------------------

         10 J = 320

Divide by 10

J = 32

Now find E

E + J = 32

E  + 32 = 32

E = 0
