Answer:

6.0 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour is the same as 60 minutes.

"Mary peels 8 oranges in 10 minutes"

1 hour = 60 minutes = 6 * 10 minutes

In 1 hour, she peels 6 times as many oranges, so Mary peels 48 oranges in 1 hour.

"Jane peels 3 oranges in 5 minutes"

1 hour = 60 minutes = 12 * 5 minutes

In 1 hour, she peels 12 times as many oranges, so Jane peels 36 oranges in 1 hour.

Combined, the peel 48 + 36 = 84 oranges in 1 hour.

(500 oranges)/(84 oranges/hour) = 5.952 hours

Answer: 6.0 hours

Equation 1 + equation 2

3x-8y +(-3x+10y) = 9+(-15)
2y= -6
then y=-3

from equation 1
3x-8y=9
3x-8(-3)=9
3x+24=9
3x=9-24=-15
then x=-5
