Answer:

  • n, h = Naomi's and Hudson's work hours, respectively
  • n + h = 13
  • 35n +20h = 395

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked for the number of work hours of Naomi and Hudson. It is convenient to define the variables n and h to represent those hours, respectively. Then the system of equations is ...

  n + h = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . . total work hours

  35n +20h = 395 . . . . . . total shirts ironed

_____

The solution is Naomi worked 9 hours; Hudson worked 4 hours.
