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.

Marrrta [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Distance = 360.55 m</u>

<u>Direction = North-East</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

The adventurous dog starts from O, say.

He moves 3 blocks East = 300 m

then,

2 blocks North = 200 m

1 block East = 100 m

1 block North = 100 m

2 blocks West = 200 m

So,

Distance of the Dog's <u>final position</u> from the <u>initial position</u><u>.</u>

OE is given by,

In triangle OLE, using Pythagoras theorem,

OE^{2}=OL^{2}+LE^{2}\\OE^{2}=(200)^{2}+(300)^{2}\\OE^{2}=40000+90000\\OE=360.55\,m

<em><u>Therefore, the distance of Dog from the Home is 360.55 m and the direction of Dog from Home is North-East.</u></em>
