If you don't know how to do this, please don't tell me the wrong answer.
The correct answer is 3 hours walking dogs and 5 hours landscaping. Step-by-step explanation: Kaylee is working two summer jobs, making $6 per hour walking dogs and $13 per hour landscaping. Total number of hours Kaylee worked last week is 8. Let Kaylee worked for x hours walking dogs and the remaining 8 - x hours landscaping. Amount earned walking dogs last week = $6x. Amount earned landscaping last week = $ 13 (8 - x). Total amount given that Kaylee earned is $83. ∴ 6x + 13 (8 - x) = 83 ⇒ 7x = 21 ⇒ x = 3 Therefore Kaylee worked for 3 hours walking dogs and 5 hours landscaping last week.
