Question

Addison worked 10 more hours this week than last week. In total, she worked 60 hours this week and last week. Using the equation 2h + 10= 60, how many hours ( h ) did Addison work last week?

Answer 1

Answer: Addison worked 25 hours last week, and she worked 10 hours more this week, which means she worked 35 hours this week. In total, she worked 60 hours this week and last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the equation:

2h + 10 = 60

Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the 2h term:

2h = 60 - 10

2h = 50

Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for h (the hours Addison worked last week):

h = 50 / 2

h = 25
