To answer this question you would set this up as an equation with all the information about Al on one side being equal to all the information for Matthew on the other side. This is what it would look like: $25 + $9h= $14h. h represents the number of hours they work. It they each worked 5 hours a week, they would make the same amount of money. I determined this by solving the equation for h. I subtracted 9h on both sides leaving you with $25=5h. H would equal 5 hours.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Find two numbers whose quotient is -1 and the subtraction of the first minus the second is -3/2
Let two numbers are x and y. When they are divided the quotient is -1. So,

It can also be written as :
x = -y ....(1)
The subtraction of first minus the second is -3/2
.

Use equation (1) in (2),

From equation (1) : 
Hence, two numbers are
.
Converting 9 3/8 to an improper fraction is 75/8. Converting 8 7/8 to an improper fraction is 71/8. Subtracting these, we get 75/8 - 71/8 = 4/8 = 1/2.
