Answer:
28 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Adena, Julius, and Tia volunteered to read to children at the public library.
Let us represent, the number of hours worked by
Adena = x
Julius = y
Tia = z
Julius worked two hours less than Tia.
y = z - 2
z = y + 2
Adena worked twice as many hours as Julius.
x = 2y
Altogether they worked 58 hours.
x + y + z = 58.... Equation 1
We substitute 2y for x and y + 2 for z in Equation 1
2y + y + y + 2 = 58
4y + 2 = 58
Collect like terms
4y = 58 - 2
4y = 56
y = 56/4
y = 14
We are the find the number of hours Adena worked which is represented by x
Note that:
x = 2y
y = 14, hence,
x = 2 × 14
x = 28 hours
Therefore, the number of hours Adena worked is 28 hours
