Question

one month, Jon worked 3 hours less than Chaya and Angel worked 4 hours more than Chaya. Together they worked 196 hours . Find the number of hours each person worked.

Answer 1

$x-\ Chaya's\ working\ hours\\ x-3\ Jon's\ working\ hours\\ x+4\ Angel's\ working\ hours\\\\ x+x-3+x+4=196\\ 3x+1=196\ \ \ |Subtract\ 1\\ 3x=195\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ 3\\x=65\\\\Jon\ worked\ 62\ hours\, Chaya\ 65\ hous\ and\ Angel\ 69.$

Answer 2

J=62 A=69 C=65 This is the answer because you would divide the total (196) by 3 because there are 3 people and then you would get the answer for C. Then add 4 to get the answer for a. The you would subtract C from 3 to get the answer to J.
