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

How do you multiply
vodomira [7]

You multiply using the multiplication table. Multiplication is one of the four basic operations in arithmetic, along with addition, subtraction, and division. Multiplication can actually be considered repeated addition, and you can solve simple multiplication problems by adding repeatedly. For larger numbers, you'll want to do long multiplication, which breaks the process down into repeated simple multiplication and addition problems. You can also try a shortcut version of long multiplication by splitting the smaller number in the problem into tens and ones, but this works best when the smaller number is between 10 and 19.
