The question being the case, the equation is: 8x + 6y = 136.
Where x is the number of hours spent on job A and y is the number of house spent on job B. Now to solve for both variables.
Notice that if you add x and y, you should get a total of 20 hours so x + y = 20.
To get x, x = 20 - y. Replace the answer on the original equation gives you 8(20-y) + 6y = 136. 
160 - 8y + 6y = 136
160 - 2y = 136
-2y = 136 - 160
-2y = -24
<span>Solve for y by dividing both sides of this equation by -2 to get y:
y = 12
Replace y on the x + y = 20 equation to get x.
x + 12 = 20
x = 20 = 12
x = 8

Therefore:
x = 8 hours on job A
y = 12 hours on job B

Hope this helps!</span>

The length of OM is 4/3 the length of OJ, and the length of ON is 4/3 the length of OK. Thus, two pairs of sides from the triangles are proportional to each other.

Also, angle O from one of the triangles is equal to angle O of the other triangle because they are the same angle.

Thus, the two triangles are similar by SAS (side-angle-side) similarity theorem. This theorem is quite similar to the SAS congruence theorem.

To make a similarity statement, we just have to match corresponding parts when naming the triangle.
