Answer:
Xena earns $144 per a week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Harry earns - $ h
Xena earns - $ x
George earns -$ g
Harry earns $45 a week more than Xena. h= x+45
George earns $18 a week less than Xena. g = x - 18
If Harry earns the same amount in two weeks that George earns in three weeks
2h = 3g
So, we have the system of 3 equations:
h= x+45
g = x - 18
2h = 3g (*)
Substitute values of h and g into equation (*)
2(x+45) = 3(x-18)
2x + 90 = 3x - 54
90+54 = 3x- 2x
x= 144
Answer:

B+16.12=18.57. Take the sum and the given value and subtract the given value from the sum. You can do this on all problems like this.
Answer:
I know this is late, but for<em> future people</em>:
I believe the answer is <u>2b+3c</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm pretty sure all you have to do is combine like terms.
I'm also taking the test at the moment.
Solve the top equation for x and then substitute that into the bottom equation and solve for y:
Top equation: subtract 4 from both sides to get x = y - 4
Substitution and simplify:
y = 4(y - 4) - 10
y = 4y - 16 - 10
y = 4y - 26
-3y = -26
y = 26/3 or 8 1/3 or 8.333 (those are all the same but in different forms)
