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.

3 hours for landscaping and 9 hr for babysitting

Step-by-step 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

(It may be wrong so if it is im sorry :( )

i believe it is c.y = 9x

rise over run. 9 units up over 1 unit right or 9/1
