Question

You worked 14 hours last week & earned a total of $96 before taxes. Your job as a life guard pays $8 per hour, & you job as a cashier pays $6 per hour. How many hours did you work at each job?

Answer 1

Job 1 + Job 2 = 14 hours
Job 1 *$8 + Job 2*$6 = $96

That should start you off.

Answer 2

Let Job 1 = x and Job 2 = y, then solve the system of equations.
