Eva is working two summer jobs, making $16 per hour tutoring and $8 per hour clearing tables. Last week Eva worked 3 times as ma
ny 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.
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.
