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>

How to simplify expressions
Volgvan
You gather the like terms together.
if you have -3y +2x +6w -4 + 3y -5x +2w

you put the like terms together
so for the term y:

you have -3y +3y = 0

for x:

2x - 5x = -2x

for w:

6w + 2w = +8w

and you also had -4. if you put them together you get

0 -2x +8w -4
which is

-2x +8w -4

hope this helps
