Question

During the fall you charge $10 to go to a house and rake the leaves and an additional eight dollars for every hour that you rake the yard if you earned $42 how many hours did you spend raking the leaves

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

set up an equation:

let h be the number of hours you spent raking.

then, the cost would be 10 + 8 times the number of hours.

In equation form:

$10 + 8h = 42$

solve:

$10 + 8h = 42\\8h = 32\\h = 4$

So you worked for 4 hours
