Your profit for mowing lawns this week is $24. You are paid $8 per hour and you paid $40 for gas for the lawnmower. How many hours did you work this week?

you worked 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

8x3 is 24  but then you have to pay money for gas so you will work more which is 8x5 because 8x5 is 40 so 40+24 is 64 which means you worked 8 hours that week

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
