ANSWER
The solution is
(x,y)=(1,-5)
EXPLANATION
The equations are:
1st equation: 6x +5y=-19
2nd equation: 12x-8y=52
Multiply the first equation by 2:
3rd equation: 12x +10y=-38
Subtracy the 2nd equation from the 3rd equations.
12x-12x+10y--8y=-38-52
18y=-90
Divide both sides by 18.
y=-5
Put y=-5 into any of the equations and solve for x.
Preferably, the first equation will do.
6x +5(-5)=-19
6x -25=-19
6x=25-19
6x=6
x=1
The solution is
(x,y)=(1,-5)
If you want to make it so that you work most of the hours on the first 4 days, you should work 5 hours. 5*4=20, so 1 hour would be left over on the 5th day.
