1 answer:
Answer:
x=1, y=6
(1,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must isolate one of the variables (x or y) in one of the equations (First or second). Here I'll isolate y in equation 2 since it's the easiest to solve.
Now that we have successfully isolated, we will next substitute the chosen variable (y) in the opposite equation (Eq 1) with the equation we have recently formed:
Next substitute x in the opposite equation: (basically the equation we previously used to create a new equation which is Equation 2)

<h3>The total money earned by Rita on Monday = $158</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate by which Rita is paid first 8 hours = $16
The next per hour rate after 8 hours = times the usual rate.
Now, 1.5 times $16 = 1.5 x 1 6 = $24
So, for each hour worked after 8th hour, Rita is paid $24 per hour.
Now, the intervals she has worked are:
(a) from 8:15 to 12: 45 pm
So, the number of hours worked = 45 minutes + 45 minutes + 3 hours
= 4 hours 30 minutes .... (1) (as 60 minutes = 1 hour)
(b) break of 45 minutes after 12: 45 = 12: 45 + 45 minutes
= 12 hour 90 minutes = 1 : 30 P M
So, she started working at 1: 30 and worked till 6: 15
So, the number of hours worked = 30 minutes + 15 minutes +4 hours
= 4 hours 45 minutes .... (2)
So, by adding (1) and (2) the total hours worked by Rita
= 4 hours 30 minutes + 4 hours 45 minutes
= 8 hours 75 minutes = 9 hours 15 minutes
9 hours 15 minutes = ( 8 + 1 .25 ) ( 15 minutes = 0.25 of an hour)
So, the payment is ( 8 x (16) + 1.25 (24) )
= 128 + 30 = 158
Hence, the total money earned by Rita = $158
