The difference in hours between full timers and part timers who work 6 hours a day is 4 working hours. How many more hours per day do full timers work? And what is the number of full time hours?

Respuesta :

Let the number of hours worked by full timers be x

The difference between hours worked by the full timers and part timers is 4 hours

The hours worked by full timers can be expressed as

[tex]x-6=4[/tex]

Hence, full timers work 4 hours more than the part timers.

The number of full time hours is

[tex]\begin{gathered} x-6=4 \\ \text{Collect like terms} \\ x=4+6=10\text{ hours} \\ x=10\text{ hours} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the number of full time hours, x, is 10 hours
