Question 1017885
Let {{{ n }}} = number of hours worked
{{{ 10 + 5n }}} = Scott's amount
{{{ 40 + 3n }}} = Jill's amount
--------------------------
{{{ 10 + 5n = 40 + 3n }}}
{{{ 2n = 30 }}}
{{{ n = 15 }}}
After 15 hrs, they each have the same amount
-------------
check:
{{{ 10 + 5n }}}
{{{ 10 + 5*15 = 85 }}}
and
{{{ 40 + 3n }}}
{{{ 40 + 3*15 = 85 }}}
OK
