Johnson's lawn using his own mower and trimmer he takes twice as long to mow as he does to trim if he earns $25.50 a day how many hours did he earn​

Answer 1

LeBron trimmed for 1 hour and mowed for 2 hours

Explanation:

Let t represent the number hours LeBron trimmed. Let m represent the number of hours LeBron mowed. The problem statement tells us two relationships:

m = 2t . . . . . LeBron spent twice as many hours mowing as trimming

(5.50 +5.00m) + (3.50 +6.50t) = 25.50

Substituting for m and collecting terms, we have

9.00 + 16.50t = 25.50

16.50t = 16.50

t = 1

m = 2·1 = 2

LeBron spent 1 hour trimming and 2 hours mowing.
