Answer :

MissPhiladelphia
Let x be the earnings/hour at the movie theater.
      y be the earnings/hour at the pet store

Systems of equations:

$152.50 = 10x + 8y
$171 = 8x + 10y

Solving for x and y:
x = $4.36/ hour in the movie theater
y = $13.61/ hour in the pet store.

Lawrence's make per hour is $13.6 and in eight hours, he made is $108 at a pet store.

What is the linear system?

A Linear system is a system in which the degree of the equation is one. It may contain one, two, or more than two variables.

Lawrence has two part-time jobs one at the movie theater and wanted a pet store he's paid by the hour at each job.

Let x be the earning per hour at a movie theatre.

And y be the earning per hour at a pet store.

Last week he worked 10 hours at the movie theater in eight hours at the pet store and earned a total of $ 152.50. Then equation will be

10x + 8y = 152.50 ...1

The week before he worked eight hours at the movie theater into ours at the pet store in earned a total of $ 171. Then equation will be

8x + 10y = 171 ...2

From equations 1 and 2, we have

x = 4.36

y = 13.6
