number of hours, x, at any point in time? Explain.

Respuesta :

Answer:

They will get both get $280 if they work for 20 hrs.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) In order to solve the problem, we can use a system of equations

2)Aaliyah's salary equation: y=13x+20

Finn's salary equation: y=12x+40

3) Using the equal values method, we now know that 12x+40=13x+20

4) when you solve the equation, x=20.

5) Substitute 20 for x.  

y=12X20+40

y=280
