5x + 25y = 60....multiply by -3
3x + 15y = 42....multiply by 5
-------------------
-15x - 75y = - 180 (result of multiplying by -3)
15x + 75y = 210 (result of multiplying by 5)
-------------------add
0 = 30...incorrect.....this system has no solutions
The answer is A in my opinion
Answer:
It will take him 6.25 hours to earn $225
Step-by-step explanation:
225 ÷ 36 = 6.25
6.25 = 6 1/4
You are dividing the total amount of money needed to be earned ($225) by the amount of money he gets paid every hour ($36) to get the number of hours it will take him to earn the amount of money he wants to earn.
Hope this helps!
