Question

Kimi and Jordan are each working during the summer to earn money in addition to

Answer 1

Their earnings would be the same after 4 hours

Let the number of hours be x, and the weekly earning be y

So, the given parameters are:

Kimi

• Earnings = $9 per hour
• Weekly allowance = $8

So, the equation for Kimi's weekly earning is:

$y =9x + 8$

Jordan

• Earnings = $7 per hour
• Weekly allowance = $16

So, the equation for Jordan's weekly earning is:

$y = 7x + 16$

Equate both equations

$7x + 16 = 9x + 8$

Collect like terms

$9x - 7x = 16 - 8$

$2x =8$

Divide both sides by 2

$x =4$

Hence, their earnings would be the same after 4 hours
