Your answer is x=84. hope this helps.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that it doesn't matter how many numbers are after the tenths place of a decimal point what matters is the tenths place itself. If you have a decimal that has dozens of numbers but it's tenth place is a 3 and then you have a decimal with 5 numbers in whole but it's tenths place is 4, the 4 is greater then the 3 simply because it's greater in tenths.
Hope this helps.
This could by seen as a ratio:
4:5
Add up the ratio. Then divide the money earned, by the ratio.
4 + 5 = 9
31.50 / 9 = 3.5
Then you times the individual hours by this.
4 x 3.5 = $14
5 x 3.5 = $17.5
So Jan earned $14
And Ted earned $17.50
