Answer:
He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using proportions.
Per hour:
Joel earns $7.25 per hour, 20% of which is deducted for taxes. So without taxes, in each hour, he earns 100%-20% of 80% of this, so 0.8*7.25 = $5.8.
Per day:
He works 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, so 8 hours a day.
For each hour, he earns $5.8.
So in a day, he makes 8*5.8 = $46.4
How many days he must work:
The ticket costs $2400.
He makes $46.4 a day.
So, to buy a ticket, he needs to work:
2400/46.4 = 51.7 days
Rounding up
He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.

Answer:
(t, u, w) = (1, -2, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator makes short work of this, giving the solution as ...
(t, u, w) = (1, -2, -2)
__
There are many ways to solve this "by hand." Here's one of them.
Add the first and third equations. Their sum is ...
-3t +4w = -11 . . . . . [eq4]
Add this to twice the second equation. That sum is ...
(-3t +4w) +2(-4t -2w) = (-11) +2(0)
-11t = -11
t = 1
Substituting this into the second equation gives ...
-4(1) -2w = 0
w +2 = 0 . . . . divide by -2
w = -2 . . . . add -2
Substituting for t in the third equation lets us find u.
2(1) -2u = 6
-1 +u = -3 . . . . . divide by -2
u = -2 . . . . add 1
The solution is (t, u, w) = (1, -2, -2).
