Question

Drag and drop numbers into the boxes to complete and solve the equation for the situation.

One month, Ruby worked 8 hours more than Isaac, and Svetlana worked 4 times as many hours as Ruby. Together they worked 148 hours. Find the number of hours each person worked.

Answer 1

isaac worked 18 hours

ruby worked 26 hours

Svetlana worked 104 hours

Explanation:

x+(x+8)+4(x+8)=148

x+x+8+4x+32=148

6x+40=148

6x=108

x=18 (isaac)

18+8=26 (ruby)

26×4= 104 (svetlana)
