Allison is working two summer jobs, making $12 per hour lifeguarding and $8 per hour washing cars. last week allison worked 3 more hours lifeguarding than hours washing cars hours and earned a total of $96. graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of hours allison worked lifeguarding last week, x , x, and the number of hours allison worked washing cars last week, y y.

Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of hours Allison worked lifeguarding last week = x

Number of hours Allison worked washing cars last week = y

1. Last week Allison worked 3 more hours lifeguarding than hours washing cars hours, then

Lifeguarding:

$12 per hour

$12x in x hours.

Washing cars:

$8 pere hour

$8y in y hours.

2. Allison earned a total of $96, hence

You get the system of two equations:

Plot the graphs of these two equations (see attached diagram). These line intersect at point (6,3), so Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.

3/20

step-by-step explanation:

well, there are 20 outcomes, and 3 of them you want. so, 3/20
