Using a system of equations, it is found that Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are:
- Variable x: Amount of hours worked by Juan.
- Variable y: Amount of hours worked by Debbie.
Juan and Debbie each earn 9 per hour at their "jobs", and earned a total of 765 for the week, hence:
9x + 9y = 765
Simplifying the expression by 9:
x + y = 85 -> x = 85 - y.
Debbie worked five hours more than juan during the week, hence:
y = x + 5.
Since x = 85 - y, we replace in the expression:
y = 85 - y + 5.
2y = 90.
y = 45.
Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.

As stated in (i), the equation of the line is: ln y = -0.015x + .26
(By the way, I checked your answers for parts (i) and (ii) and they are both correct)
(iii)
Plug in (1.1) for y and solve:
ln (1.1) = -0.015x + .26
0.095 = -0.015x + .26
-0.165 = - 0.015x
10.979 = x
Answer: x = 10.979
The answer is c. y=4x + 3
