Answer:

25 and 21 hours respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours worked by each welder be x and y respectively.

They worked a total of 46 hours. This means :

x + y = 46 hours.......(I)

Now, given their hourly charges, since we have the total amount of money realized, we can make an equation out of it. This means:

34x + 39y = 1669........(ii)

We then solve both simultaneously. From I, x = 46 -y

We can substitute this into ii

34(46 -y) + 39y = 1669

1564 -34y + 39y = 1669

5y = 1669 - 1564

5y = 105

y = 105/5 = 21

x = 46 - y

x = 46 - 21 = 25 hours

The numbers of hours worked by the welders are 25 and 21 respectively
