Lenny worked a total of 84 hours in june and july. He worked one half as many hours in june as he did in july. How man many hours did lenny work in each month?
+22 \(x\) is the number of hours Lenny worked in July and \(\frac{1}{2}x\) is the number of hours that Lenny spent working in June.
We know that Lenny worked 84 hours, so we add the two coefficients to get \(1.5x = 84 \)
This means that in the month of July, Lenny worked 56 hours, and in the month of June, Lenny worked 26 hours.
\(x=56 \) and \(1.5x = 28\)
Hope this helps!
