SOLUTION:

a ) Write an equation in standard form that models your earnings.

8x + 6y = $114


b ) You worked 10 hours as a hair washer. How many hours did you work as a host?


8x + 6y = $114

8x + 6 ( 10 ) = 114

8x + 60 = 114

8x = 114 - 60

8x = 54

x = 54 / 8

x = 27 / 4 hours

x = 6.75 hours

x = 6 hours and 45 minutes
