Question 1044125
<font color=black size=3>
x = number of hours worked each month


She earns $10 an hour. If she works for x hours in a certain month, then she earns 10*x = 10x dollars just from her job. She also receives $36 per month from her parents. In total, she has 10x+36 dollars after working x hours a month.


Set that expression equal to 356 and solve for x


10x+36 = 356
10x+36-36 = 356-36
10x = 320
10x/10 = 320/10
x = 32


She must work a minimum of <font color=red size=4>32 hours</font> a month to be able to meet expenses.
