Answer:

They both worked for 48 minutes and made $150.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation for both workers:

Noah: y = x+102

Hassan: y = 2x+54

Since they are the same, set the equations equal to each other:

x+102 = 2x+54

 -54           -54

x+48 = 2x

-1x        -1x

x = 48 minutes

Solve for how much they made by using x.

y = (48)+102

y = $150

y = 2(48)+54

y = $150

*you don't have to do it for both but it is good to check that so you know if you did everything right*
