The worker worked \"11\" hours
\n" ); document.write( "Call \"11-x\" the regular workweek in hours
\n" ); document.write( "Call \"x\" the extra hours worked
\n" ); document.write( "Notice that \"%2811-x%29+%2B+x+=+11\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"114.75+=+9%2811-x%29+%2B+13.5x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"114.75+=+99+-+9x+%2B+13.5x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4.5x+=+15.75\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+3.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"11-x+=+7.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, the length of a regular workday is 7.5 hours
\n" ); document.write( "check answer
\n" ); document.write( "\"114.75+=+9%2811-x%29+%2B+13.5x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"114.75+=+9%2811-3.5%29+%2B+13.5%2A3.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"114.75+=+9%2A7.5+%2B+47.25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"114.75+=+67.5+%2B+47.25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"114.75+=+114.75\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
