The answer is A: x=1/2 , y= 1/3
Solve the following system:
{2 x + 3 y = 2 | (equation 1)
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 1)
{2 x + 3 y = 2 | (equation 2)
Subtract 1/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 3:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by -1:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x+3 y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 2 by 3:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)
Subtract 6 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{2 x+0 y = 1 | (equation 1)
v0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 2:
{x+0 y = 1/2 | (equation 1)
v0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)
Collect results:

Answer:
Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of hours Allison worked lifeguarding last week = x
Number of hours Allison worked washing cars last week = y
1. Last week Allison worked 3 more hours lifeguarding than hours washing cars hours, then
<u>Lifeguarding:</u>
$12 per hour
$12x in x hours.
<u>Washing cars:</u>
$8 pere hour
$8y in y hours.
2. Allison earned a total of $96, hence
You get the system of two equations:
Plot the graphs of these two equations (see attached diagram). These line intersect at point (6,3), so Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.
