Here you have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns. An easy way to solve this type is to isolate one of the variables.

12a + 2b = 8
2b = 8 - 12a
b =
b =  \frac{8 - 12a  }{2}
b = 4 - 6a

Now plug 4 - 6a into equation 1 to solve for a.

a + 5(4 - 6a) = 19

a + 20 - 30a = 19

-29a = -1

a = 1/29 (answer)

Now plug a into the equation for b

b= 4 - 6(1/29)

b= 110/29 (answer)

ankoles [38]

We know that he weeds gardens for 15 hours, and mows lawns for x hours.

If he wants to earn $252 per month, we can express the following

9\cdot15+9x\ge252

Now, we solve for x

\begin{gathered} 135+9x\ge252 \\ 9x\ge252-135 \\ 9x\ge117 \\ x\ge\frac{117}{9} \\ x\ge13 \end{gathered}<h2>Hence, he has to mow lawns for 13 hours to earn at least $252.</h2>
