each week , harry is paid x dollars per hour for the first 18 hours and 1.5 x dollars for each additional hour worked that week . each week , james is paid x dollars per per hour for the first 40 hours and 2 x dollars for each additional hour worked that week . last week james worked a total of 41 hours if harry and james were paid the same amount last week , how many hours did harry work last week ?
"42 x = 18 x + 1.5 x ( h - 18 ) = = > 42 = 18 + 1.5 ( h - 18 ) = = > h - 18 = 24 / 1.5 = 16 = = > h = 34 answer is a"
add(divide(subtract(add(40, 2), 18), 1.5), 18)
