Question

Maya is working two summer jobs, making $7 per hour babysitting and $11 per hour landscaping. Last week Maya earned a total of $96 and worked 3 times as many hours babysitting as she worked hours landscaping. Determine the number of hours Maya worked babysitting last week and the number of hours she worked landscaping last week.

Answer 1

Answer:3 hours for landscaping and 9 hr for babysitting

Explanation:

Answer 2

3 hours for landscaping and 9 hr for babysitting

Explanation:

So take x to be babysitting and y to be landscaping

The equation will be 7x+11y=96

$7 for the baby sitting and $11 for the landscaping and 96 for the total

So then it says 3 times as many hours than landscaping so x equation will look like this x=3*y

So replace the terms - 7*(3y)+11y=96

Simplify (7*3)y+11y=96

Simplify more 21y+11y=96

You get 32y=96

Divide both sides by 32 to have y only 32y/32=96/32

You will get y=3

So landscaping will be 3 hours and it says that babysitting is 3 times so multiply 3 you get 9

So landscaping is 3 hours and babysitting is 9 hours

Hope this help
