Answer:

The number of hours that Julia work for walking dogs is 2 hours and The number of hours that Julia work for babysitting is 4 hours .

Explanation:

Given as :

The money earn by Julia for babysitting = $8 per hour

The money earn by Julia for walking dogs = $12 per hour

The total money that Julia earn for working 6 hours = $56

Total number of working hours for Julia = 6 hours

Let The number of hours that Julia work for babysitting = b hours

Let The number of hours that Julia work for walking dogs = d hours

Now, According to question

money earn by Julia for babysitting × number of hours that Julia work for babysitting + money earn by Julia for dogs walking × number of hours that Julia work for dogs walking = Total money that Julia earn

Or, $8 per hour × b hours + $12 per hour × d hours = $56

Or, 8 b + 12 d = 56 ........1

Again

Number of hours that Julia work for babysitting + Number of hours that Julia work for dogs walking = Total number of working hours for Julia

Or, b + d = 6 ..........2

Now, Solving equation 1 and 2

i.e (8 b + 12 d) - 8 × (b + d) = 56 - 8 × 6

Or, (8 b - 8 b) + (12 d - 8 d) = 56 - 48

Or, 0 + 4 d = 8

∴ d =
(8)/(4)

i.e d = 2 hours

So, The number of hours that Julia work for walking dogs = d = 2 hours

Put the value of d in eq 2

∵ b + d = 6

Or, b + 2 = 6

∴ b = 6 - 2

i.e b = 4 hours

So, The number of hours that Julia work for babysitting = b = 4 hours

Hence, The number of hours that Julia work for walking dogs is 2 hours and The number of hours that Julia work for babysitting is 4 hours . Answer
