Question

Angel has worked a certain number of hours on Monday. On Wednesday she worked 2 hours more than triple of the hours of Monday. In total she worked 18 hours. How many hours has she worked each day? Write and use an equation involving a variable to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Monday - 4 hours

Wednesday - 14 hours

Explanation:

'h' = hours worked on Monday

'2 + 3h' = hours worked on Wednesday

h + 2 + 3h = 18

4h = 16

h = 4 (Monday)

18 - 4 = 14 (Wednesday)
