Question 436964: Bill earns $3 more per hour than Sally. Last week, Sally worked 10 more hours than Bill. If they both earned $600 last week, what is Sally's hourly rate?
I can't figure out the connection to other variables to set up my equation.
I have this so far:
Let Bill's rate = R sub b (D sub b / H sub b)
Let Bill's dollars = D sub b (D sub s +3)
Let Bill's hours = H sub b (H sub s -10)
Let Sally's rate = R sub s
Let Sally's dollars = D sub s
Let Sally's hours = H sub s
I don't know where to go from here.

[600 / (s + 3)] + 10 = 600 / s
