Answer 1

Walking dogs = 3 hours, Landscaping = 5 hours.

Explanation:

Given:

Kaylee is working to summer job making $6 per hour walking dogs and $13 per hour landscaping.

Last week kaylee worked a total of eight hours and earned a total of $83.

Question asked:

Determine the number of hours Kaylee worked walking dogs last week and the number of hours she worked landscaping last week.

Solution:

Let last week number of hour worked walking dogs by Kaylee =
`x`

Then last week number of hour worked landscaping by Kaylee =
`8-x`

Total amount earned by her last week = $83

Earned by walking dogs + Earned by landscaping = $83

`6* x+13(8-x)=83\\ \\ 6x+104-13x=83\\ \\ -7x+104=83\\ \\`

Subtracting both sides by 104

`-7x+104-104=83-104\\ \\ -7x=-21`

Minus canceled by minus

`7x=21`

Dividing both sides by 7

`x=3`

Number of hour worked walking dogs by Kaylee =
`x` = 3 hours.

Number of hour worked landscaping by Kaylee =
`8-x` = 8 - 3 = 5 hours.

Therefore, the number of hours kaylee worked walking dogs last week was 3 hours and landscaping was 5 hours.
