Answer:

a). The equation; 7.25 h-36.25=0

b). total number of hours Steven work=5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The expression for the total money earned is as follows;

T=E×h

where;

T=total earnings

E=earnings per hour

h=number of hours worked

In our case;

T=$36.25

E=$7.25

h=h

replacing;

36.25=(7.25×h)

36.25=7.25 h

The equation would be; 7.25 h=36.25, or 7.25 h-36.25=0

Part B

7.25 h=36.25

h=36.25/7.25

h=5

total number of hours Steven work=5 hours

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination. Show all work for credit.

Using substitution:
first you have to express one variable in terms of the other, in this we can express y in terms of x:
y =  \frac{ -  \frac{1}{2} x + 2}{3}  \\ y =  - x + 9

Since both expressions are equal to y, you have to equal both expressions like this:
\frac{  - \frac{ 1}{2}x + 2 }{3}  =  - x + 9
Now you can solve the equation:
-  \frac{1}{2} x + 2 = 3( - x + 9) \\   - \frac{ 1}{2}x  + 2 =  - 3x + 27 \\  \\  -  \frac{1}{2} x + 3x = 27 - 2 \\   \frac{5}{2} x = 25 \\ x =  \frac{(25)(2)}{5}  \\ x = 10
Knowing x=10, you can use any of the expressions we found before to find y. In this case I'm going to use y= -x+9 because it's simpler but boy should give you the same result

y =  - (10) + 9 \\ y =  - 1
So, the answer is x=10 and y=-1

so every 3 orange picks there are 2 green picks so 6 orange picks leads to 4 green pick and just keep adding to each side. 9 orange picks is 6 green picks, 12 orange picks is 8 green picks. Therefore you add 3 to 12 and get 15 which means 15 orange picks is your answer.
