Can somebody plz help answer both word problem questions correctly thanks :DD WILL MARK BRAINLIEST WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST!!!:DDD

9. a+b=17

b=3+a

17=a+3+a

14=2a

7=a

b=3+7

b=10

10. 156.25/6.25= 25 hrs

9. x = 7, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

9. I first set up an equation x+y=17

then I set up a second equation y = x+3

I substitute y for x+3 and get x+x+3=17 or 2x+3=17

then I just evaluate the equation x=7

I then use my first equation x+y = 17 and substitute the value 7+y= 17 and get y = 10

10. Just divide 156.25 with 6.25 to get the number of hours she had to work to get 156.25 dollars. The answer would be 156.25/ 6.25 = 25
