You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let the amount that Aaron works=x
\n" ); document.write( "Betsy works 4 hrs more than Aaorn=x+4
\n" ); document.write( "Charisa works as much as they both do put together=(x)+(x+4)=2x+4
\n" ); document.write( "They work a total of =45
\n" ); document.write( "Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "(x)+(x+4)+(2x+4)=45
\n" ); document.write( "(1+1+2)x+(4+4)=45
\n" ); document.write( "4x+8=45
\n" ); document.write( "4x+8-8=45-8
\n" ); document.write( "4x=37
\n" ); document.write( "4x/4=37/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=9.25 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "Aaron works:x=9.25 hrs, or 9hrs and 15 min
\n" ); document.write( "Betsy works:x+4=9.25+4=13.25 hrs, or 13 hrs and 15 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "Charisa:2x+4=2(9.25)+4=18.5+4=22.5 hrs, or 22 hrs and 30 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!!!!
