Shyanne Luna · Answer 1

Rachel's hourly pay is $27/hour and Aaron's hourly pay is $35/hour.

27 x 2 = 54

35 x 2 = 70

70 + 54 = 124

Snoop · Answer 2

A=r+8, ok?

2*a + 2*r = 124, right?

a+r = 62, a = r+8 - - - > 2r + 8 = 62, r = 54/2 = 27, so

Rachel's hourly rate is $27, Aaron is $35.

Check: 1 hour both $62, 2 hours 124!
