Question

Eva is working two summer jobs, making $16 per hour tutoring and $8 per hour clearing tables. Last week Eva worked 3 times as many hours clearing tables as she worked hours tutoring hours and earned a total of $80. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of hours Eva worked tutoring last week, x,x, and the number of hours Eva worked clearing tables last week, yy.

Answer 1

Answer:

48 and 32 6 hours clearing tables and 2 hours tutoring

Step-by-step explanation:

we can rewrite this as a fraction. we will use 1/10s because 80 can be divided by 8 which is in the problem. we then have to find out what two numbers add up to 8 but one is 3 times the other. 6 and 2 fit into this problem so we plug it into the equation and we write it as this 6x+4x=80 where x is 8. we get 48 and 32.
