What is the rate she is being paid for daytime hours and what is the rate for nighttime hours? email addy: mom22bizeegurls@ymail.com 1 solutions Answer 190626 by checkley77(12569)   on 2010-01-20 17:06:02 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! 17x+8y=191 multiply by 15. 12x+15y=219 multiply by -8 & add. 255x+120y=2,865 -96x-120y=-1,752 --------------------- 159x=1,113 x=1,113/159 x=$7 is the hourly rate for daytime hours. 17*7+8y=191 119+8y=191 8y=191-119 8y=72 y=72/8 y=$9 is the hourly rate for nightime hours. Proof: 12*7+15*9=219 84+135=219 219=219
