Question

Can someone help plz? Jack and Jessica earned the same amount last week. Jack earned $18 per hour and had $41 taken from his check for taxes LaTeX: (18x-41)( 18 x − 41 ). Jessica earned $15 per hour and had $17 deducted from her pay. How many hours did each work in order to get paid the same amount?

Write the equation


Solve for the number of hours

Answer 1

the answer is 8

Step-by-step explanation: so first what you want to do is you want to set up the equation 18x-41. then you want to do 15x because of the 15 per hour. then you minus 17. so your equation is 18x-41=15x-17 then the answer to that is 8 hours
