Multiply you first equation by 2 to get 4x + 10y = 22
Now the x terms can be eliminated and cancelled out using elimination.
4x + 10y = 22
4x + 3y = 1
To eliminate you need to "subtract", so you need to multiply one of the equations by -1.
4x + 10y = 22
-4x -3y = -1
------------------
0 + 7y = 21
y = 3
Now plug 3 into either one of the equations to get x.
9ths answer. 113.112 ~ 113.1
Answer: 6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
$7.50per hour
$43.50 in tips
$88.50 total
