Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x-y=7
-3x+9y=-39
Divide the second equation by 3
-x +3y = -13
Add this to the first equation
x-y=7
-x +3y = -13
----------------------
0x +2y = -6
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -6/2
y = -3
Now find x
x-y = 7
x -(-3) = 7
x+3 = 7
Subtract 3 from each side
x = 4
(4,-3)
Or by substitution
x-y=7
solve for x
x = 7+y
-3x+9y=-39
Substitute y+7 in for x
-3(7+y) +9y = -39
Distribute
-21 -3y +9y = -39
Combine like terms
-21 +6y = -39
Add 21 to each side
6y = -18

All you have to do to solve this problem is to put it into fraction form: if for every $4 Jo makes, Leila makes $3, then the fraction would be 3/4.
To solve this divide 60 by 4 to get 15 and then multiply 15 by 3 to get Leila's pay. 15*3=45
Check it by putting it into simplest form as a fraction to see if it checks:
45/60=3/4 and 3/4=3/4 so therefore Leila makes $45 in profit
