kayla gets paid $6.00 for raking leaves and $8.00 for mowing each lawn of the neighbors around her subdivision. This year she mowed the lawns 12 times more than she raked leaves. In total, she made $918.00 for doing both. How many times did she rake the leaves.

Equations:
m = r+12
6r + 8m = 918
----
Subtitute for "m" and solve for "r":
6r + 8(r+12) = 918
14r + 96 = 918
14r = 822
r = 58.7143

Comment:
That doesn't make much sense. The value of "r" should
be a whole number.
