Answer 1

Answer:

Nick has to work 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Nick makes 9   works x

Julia makes 12  works 6

first find out how much Julia makes you can do that by multiplying 12 by 6 witch = 72

and we know we are trying to find how many hours Nick needs to work to equal Julia so we knew they are equal

so we have 9X=72

we just have to solve...

divide 72 by 9

leaving use with X=8
