One month, ruby worked 6 more hours than issac, and svetlana worked 4 times as many hours as ruby. together they worked 126 hours. find the number of hours each person worked.

Ruby's hours will represent x+6
Svetlana's hours will represent 4(x+6)
Issac will represent x.

The equation would read:
x+(x+6)+(4(x+6))=126
x+x+6+4x+24=126
6x+30=126
Subtract 30 from both sides.
6x=96
Divide 6 on both sides to get x by itself.
x=16

So:
Issac worked 16 hours
Ruby worked 22 hours
Svetlana worked 88 hours.

To check your answer, plug in the values:
16+22+88=126
126=126

Hope this helps.

Ibelieve it would be letter c (:
