You have two summer jobs. You mow lawns for $20.00 per hour. You also work at a restaurant for 7.50 per hour. In one week you earn 825.00 working 50 hours. Write an equation that can be used to find the hours that you mowed lawns.

\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "L + R = 50
\n" ); document.write( "20L + 7.50R = 825 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute to get an equation in \"L\".
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Since R = 50-L you get:
\n" ); document.write( "20L + 7.50(50-L) = 825
