    Ruby worked X + 8

    Isaac worked X

    Svetlana worked 3 (X+8)

    Let's combine all of that by putting it in an equation

    X+8+x+3 (x+8) = 150

    Do what's in parentheses first

    x+8+x+3x+24=150

    Now we add likes

    X+x+3x+8+24=150

    5x+32=150

    We want x on one side of the equation & numbers on the other side

    5x+32-32=150-32

    5x=118

    Solving for X

    5x/5=118/5

    X=23.6

    Isaac worked 23.6

    Ruby worked 8 more hours than Isaac so we add 8 to 23.6 = 31.6

    Svetlana worked 3 times Ruby so 3x31.6 = 94.8
