Answer:

100 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Law firm A = 350x + 22,000,

Law firm B = 410x+16,000

Where,

x = number of hours of legal assistance

What number of hours of legal assistance makes the equation 350x+22,000 = 410x+16,000 true?

Equate the legal fees of the two law firms

350x + 22,000 = 410x + 16,000

Collect like terms

350x - 410x = 16,000 - 22,000

-60x = -6,000

Divide both sides by -60

x = -6,000 / -60

= 100

x = 100 hours

The number of hours of legal assistance makes the equation true is 100 hours

Help me substitution method define variables

Rina8888 [55]

$\left \{ {{S=14+L} (I) \atop {S+L=124}(II)} \right.$

Substitute (I) into (II), we have:
 $S+L=124$
$(14+L)+L=124$
$14 + 2L = 124$
$2L = 124 - 14$
$2L = 110$
$L = \frac{110}{2}$
$\boxed{L = 55}$

Replace (II) in (I), we have:
 $S=14+L$
$S = 14+ 55$
$\boxed{S = 69}$

Answer:
each student sell:
Lori = 55 pizzas
Steve = 69 pizzas
