Question 1105892: LeBron mows yards. For each yard he charges $5.50 for the use of his mower and $3.50 for the use of his trimmer. In addition LeBron charges $5 an hour to mow and $6.50 an hour to trim.
LeBron both mows and trims Mr. John's lawn using his own mower and trimmer. He takes twice as long to mow as he does to trim. If he earns $25.50 that day, how many hours did he mow?
