Answer:
The number of hours you must mow lawns to
have a total of $ 130 in your account is:
10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that:
You have $ 50 in your bank account.
Let x be the number of hours we mow.
The amount per hour for mowing a land is: $ 8
This means that:
The amount we receive on mowing the land for
x hours is : 8x
Also,
The total amount in the bank account on
mowing= $ 130
This means that:
50+8x=130
( since the amount present initially in the
account and the amount on mowing the land
equals the total amount in the account
afterwards )
Now, subtracting both side of the equation by
50 we get:
8x=80
Now on dividing both side by 8 we get:
x=10
Hence, the number of hours spent to mow
lawn= 10 hours

Answer: 10 hours

Step by step: if you make 8$ an hour, that

means you multiply 8 times how many hours
you work and it will tell you how much you will
make in that many hours. So we need to find out
how many hours it will take to get 80$ because
we already have 50$ and we need 130$. 130$
(what we need) - 50$ (what we have) is 80$. So
we need to find out how many hours we must
work to get 80$. Now, we know that we make
8$ an hour, so 8 times the hours must equal 80.
So let’s set up the equation. h will stand for our
unknown hours and we will solve for h. Problem:
8*h=80. So to get h by itself we dive both sides
by 8. 8h/8= h, and 80/8=10. So now our problem
is: h=10. This is our answer, hours = 10 so it
would take 10 hours of working to have 130$ in
your bank account. Hope this helps!
