\n" ); document.write( "Raul works two hours daily after school, Monday through Friday. On Saturdays he works eight hours at two dollars more per hour than on weekdays. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If he makes $142 per week how much does he make per hour on weekends.     (! I corrected here weekends on weekdays (underlined !). Otherwise it doesnt make sense).
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x be what Raul makes per hour on weekdays.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then he makes 2*5*x = 10x in total on weekdays, Monday through Friday.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "On Saturday he makes 8*(x+2) dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation is\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10x + 8*(x+2) = 142.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The solution is   x = $\"%28142-16%29%2F18\"$ = 7 dollars per hour on weekdays.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, Paul makes   x+2 = 7+2 = 9   dollars per hour on weekends.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
