Let the number of hours he worked at his weekday job be x and the number of hours he worked at his weekend job be y, then

x+y=40\ .\ .\ .\ (1) \\  \\ 20x+18y=770\ .\ .\ .\ (2) \\  \\ (1)\times18\Rightarrow18x+18y=720\ .\ .\ .\ (3) \\  \\ (2)-(3)\Rightarrow2x=50 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x=50/2=25

From (1): 25 + y = 40
y = 40 - 25 = 15.

Therefore, Beneio worked for 25 hours at his weekday job and 15 hours at his weekend job.

a jar contains nickels and pennies. there are 56 coins in the jar in all. the total value of the coins is 1.52. how many pennies
nevsk [136]
1 penny is just 1c
one nickel is 5 pennies or 5c

alrite...

p = amount of pennies in the jar
n = amount of nickels in the jar

we know there are 56 coins in the jar, thus whatever "p" and "n" are,

p + n = 56

we also know, the total value of all pennies and nickels is one buck and 52 cents, or 1.52.. that's 152 pennies.

now, we know there are 5 pennies in one nickel, so in "n" nickels, there are 5*n pennies, or 5n, thus

p + 5n = 152

\bf \begin{cases}
p+n=56\implies \boxed{n}=56-p\\
p+5n=152\\
----------\\
p+5\left( \boxed{56-p} \right)=152
\end{cases}

solve for "p", to see how many penny coins are there.

what about the nickels? well, n = 56 - p.
