ohh wat i wrote was right!
6*x+10*y=366
x and y are hours per week on each rate!!

anonymous · Answer

yes sorry

anonymous · Answer

1) 10x + 6y = 366
2) 10* 15 + 6y = 366 -> 6y = 216 -> y = ...

the_fizicx99 · Answer

Then it should be: 10 * 15 = 150,

366 - 150 = 216/6 = 36

10x + 6y = 366

x = 15, y = 36 ?
