Question

8. Stanley worked 6 more than twice as many

hours as Kathleen did. How many hours
did each work if together they worked
69 hours?

Answer 1

Stanley worked 48 hours while Kathleen worked 21 hours.

Explanation:

K + S = 69

2K + 6 = S

K + 2K + 6 = 69

3K = 63

K = 21

2(21) + 6 = S

S = 42 + 6

S = 48
