Answer 1

Answer:

First we are going to try to find how many hours she worked on the fast food restaurant so you multiply 4.25 time 16 and x

10.50x + 4.25(16-x) =136.75

10.50x + 68 - 4.25x= 136.75

Then, you subtract 68 from both sides and subtract 4.25x from 10.50x

6.25x=68.75

Divide

X=11 that is how many hours she worked at the FAST FOOD RESTAURANT

Then 16-11 and that gives us how many hours she helped her aunt.

ANSWER: she worked 11 hours at the fast food restaurant and 5 hours helping her aunt
