Explanation:

WeMoveU charges an hourly rate for a moving team to load and unload a truck. The charges is a different hourly rate for a team pack and unpack boxes. Use the quotes below to determine the company's hourly rates. Weekday Move: 5hours of loading and unloading services. 4 hours of packing and unpacking service. $730 total cost. Weekend Move: 4 hours of loading and unloading services. 5 hours of packing and unpacking services. $710 total cost.

Let us represent:

Hours of Loading and Unloading = X

Hours of packing = y

5hours of loading and unloading services. 4 hours of packing and unpacking service. $730 total cost.

5x + 4y = 730..... Equation 1

Weekend Move: 4 hours of loading and unloading services. 5 hours of packing and unpacking services. $710 total cost.

4x + 5y = 710.... Equation 2

Combining both Equations together

5x + 4y = 730..... Equation 1

4x + 5y = 710.... Equation 2

We solve using Elimination method
