Susan works as a hostess where she makes $8.75 per hour. She also babysits and earns $10.00 per hour. Last week she made $165.00. If she worked 6hour more as a hostess than she did babysitting, how many hours did she babysit last week?

6 hours as a babysitter and 12 hours as a hostess

"standard form:

3x2 + 14x − 10 = 0

solutions based on quadratic formula:

x1   = −14 − √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 − 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ −5.296

x2   = −14 + √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 + 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ 0.629
