Answer:
Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of hours Allison worked lifeguarding last week = x
Number of hours Allison worked washing cars last week = y
1. Last week Allison worked 3 more hours lifeguarding than hours washing cars hours, then

<u>Lifeguarding:</u>
$12 per hour
$12x in x hours.
<u>Washing cars:</u>
$8 pere hour
$8y in y hours.
2. Allison earned a total of $96, hence

You get the system of two equations:

Plot the graphs of these two equations (see attached diagram). These line intersect at point (6,3), so Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.
We performed the following operations:
![f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}\mapsto g(x)=2\sqrt[3]{x}=2f(x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%5Cmapsto%20g%28x%29%3D2%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%3D2f%28x%29)
If you multiply the parent function by a constant, you get a vertical stretch if the constant is greater than 1, a vertical compression if the constant is between 0 and 1. In this case the constant is 2, so we have a vertical stretch.
![g(x)=2\sqrt[3]{x}\mapsto h(x)=-2\sqrt[3]{x}=-g(x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=g%28x%29%3D2%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%5Cmapsto%20h%28x%29%3D-2%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%3D-g%28x%29)
If you change the sign of a function, you reflect its graph across the x axis.
![h(x)=-2\sqrt[3]{x}\mapsto m(x)=-2\sqrt[3]{x}-1=h(x)-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=h%28x%29%3D-2%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%5Cmapsto%20m%28x%29%3D-2%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D-1%3Dh%28x%29-1)
If you add a constant to a function, you translate its graph vertically. If the constant is positive, you translate upwards, otherwise you translate downwards. In this case, the constant is -1, so you translate 1 unit down.
