Answer:

  • tutoring: 2 hours
  • clearing: 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations you want to graph for your graphical solution are ...

  16x +8y = 80 . . . . . . total earnings

  y = 3x . . . . . . . . . . relation between clearing and tutoring hours

The attached graph shows the solution to be (x, y) = (2, 6).

Eva worked 2 hours tutoring and 6 hours clearing tables.
