Answer:

<u><em>y=7  </em></u><u>number of hours at grocery store</u>

<u><em>x=18 </em></u><u>number of hours at baby- sitting</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided.

x is number of hours at baby- sitting

y is number of hours at grocery store

total number of hours worked

<em>1) </em><em>x+y =25</em>

total earn in a week

<em>2) </em><em>x*$6 + y* $9 = $171</em>

<em />

<em>from equation 1</em>

x+y=25

x= 25-y

<em>we place the above derived equation in equation 2 </em>

x*$6 + y* $9 = $171

(25-y)*$6 + y* $9 = $171

(25*6) -6y +9y =171

150+3y=171

3y=171-150

3y=21

<u><em>y=7  </em></u><u>number of hours at grocery store</u>

x= 25-y

x= 25-7

<u><em>x=18 </em></u><u>number of hours at baby- sitting</u>
