You can put this solution on YOUR website! Carlin is writing a book for her job, where she works the same number of hours everyday. On Monday she writes 2 paragraphs in the morning before going to work and then 3 more paragraphs per hour at work. On Tuesday , she writes twice as many paragraphs as on Monday, and on Wednesday, she writes 3 times as many paragraphs as on Monday. by the end of Wednesday, she has written 102 paragraphs
.
Write and simplify by combing like terms an equation showing how many hours she worked per day writing. Let h represent the number of hours she worked per day
Solve the equation to show how many hours she worked per day
----
Monday: 2 + 3h paragraphs
Tuesday: 2(2+3h) paragraphs
Wednesday: 3(2+3h) paagraphs
----
Equation:
2+3h + 4+6h + 6 + 9h = 102
12+18h = 102
18h = 90
h = 5 (number of hours worked per day)
