It has given you that to earn $85 in one week. Kim could earn $8 per hour babysitting and $15 per hour for yard work with work time limited to 8 hours per week. Now we have to represent the variable X is the numbers of hours spent doing babysitting in the week. And Y represents the number of hours spent doing yard work in the week. The equation representing the condition on the total number of hours to be worked is: x+y= 8. The equation relating the number of hours working at each job toward the fund- raising goal is: 8x+ 15y= 85 and your final answer should be x= 5
