Music lessons: 7 hours x £12 = £84
Babysit: 11 hours x £5 = £55

£84 + £55 = £139

So she babysit for 11 hours on weekend.

Answer:

15.06

Explanation:

Substituting this value into the first equation gives us b + 2.94 = 18, so b = 15.06 hours. Since Karen can only work whole hours, she must have worked 15 hours babysitting and 3 hours giving music lessons.
