Question

Mila is working two summer jobs, making $10 per hour washing cars and $11 per

hour landscaping. Last week Mila worked a total of 14 hours and earned a total of
$145. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of
hours Mila worked washing cars last week and the number of hours she worked
landscaping last week. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer 1

L+C=14

10C+11L=145

Explanation:

Let C represent Car Washing

Let L represent Landscaping

If Mila worked a total of 14 hours; then

L+C=14

If Mila earned a total of $145, then

10C+11L=145

Hence;

The system of equation are:

L+C=14

10C+11L=145
