Given:
Jody earns $10 per hour babysitting and $15 per hour doing yardwork.
This week she worked 34 hours and earned $410.
To find:
The system of equations models this situation.
Solution:
Let x represents the number hours she babysat and y represents the number of hours she did yardwork.
Total number of hours is 34.
[tex]x+y=34[/tex]
Total income is $410.
[tex]10x+15y=410[/tex]
Therefore, the required system of equations has equations [tex]x+y=34[/tex] and [tex]10x+15y=410[/tex].
