Let the first digit of the 2-digit number be x and the second digit be y.
Then the ratio (x/y) equals (1/2). Write a formula for y in terms of x.
The tens digit is 2 more than the units digit. Using the letters x and y, write out the proper equation.
Now solve your two equations simultaneously for x and y.
So last week Paul worked 2.5x this week's hours, so he worked a total of 2.5x15= 37.5 hours last week.

and 

![2[5.00 - 3d] + j + 2d = 7.50](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%5B5.00%20-%203d%5D%20%2B%20j%20%2B%202d%20%3D%207.50)

Make j the subject



![3[5.00 - 3d] + j + 4d = 11.50](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%5B5.00%20-%203d%5D%20%2B%20j%20%2B%204d%20%3D%2011.50)

Make j the subject


So, we have:
and 
Equate both values of j
