Jose is working two summer jobs, making $10 per hour washing cars and $9 per hour walking dogs. Last week Jose worked a total of 13 hours and earned a total of $122. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of hours Jose worked washing cars last week and the number of hours he worked walking dogs last week. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Based on the information given, the equation will be:

Based on the information given, the sum of the hours he worked washing cars and the hours he worked walking dogs will be equal to the total hours worked. Thia can be represented by:

x + y = 13

On the other hand, the product of the number of hours he worked washing cars and the price per hour plus the product of the number of hours he worked walking dogs and the price per hour can be represented with the equation:

10x + 9y = 122

In conclusion, the equation will be x + y = 13 and 10x + 9y = 122.

10x + 9y =122

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

The sum of the hours he worked washing cars (x) and the hours he worked walking dogs(y) will be equal to the total hours worked (13)

For the second equation the product of the number of hours he worked washing cars(x) and the price per hour ($10) plus the product of the number of hours he worked walking dogs (y) and the price per hour ($9) will be equal to the total amount earned (122)-

So, the system of equations is:

Where:

x: number of hours Jose worked washing cars

y: number of hours Jose worked walking dogs  

∞ this is your sign

answer: okw
