Kate Mcdaniel · Answer 1

Let x be the number of hours of nagging groceries spent by Ethan. With this representation, the number of hours for moving lawns will be x + 10. The equation that would let us solve this item is,

6x + 7.50 (x + 10) = 129

The value of x from the equation is 4. Thus, the number of hours spent for moving lawns is 14 hours.
