Answer 2

Mark earns 12 dollars an hour, and Steven earns 15 dollars.

Mark earned 6*12=72 dollars, and Steven earned 15*5=75 dollars.

Explanation:

Let's set Mark's salary as x.

Steven=x+3

Last Friday, Steven earned 5(x+3) dollars, while Mark earned 6x dollars.

We can write the sum of these salaries as:

5(x+3)+6x=147

5x+15+6x=147

11x+15=147

11x=132

x=12

Then, we can substitute x with 12.

Mark earns 12 dollars an hour, and Steven earns 15 dollars.

Mark earned 6*12=72 dollars, and Steven earned 15*5=75 dollars.
