Correct Question:

John works as a tutor for $12 an hour and as a waiter for $8 an hour. This month, he worked a combined total of 86 hours at his two jobs.

Let be the number of hours John worked as a tutor this month. Write an expression for the combined total dollar amount he earned this month.

Total hours = 86

Let t is the hours he spent on tutoring

then (86-t) is hours spent on waiting

Let Y is the total amount in dollars which is required .

Now;

y = (tutoring hours x 12$) + (waiting hours x 8$)

Y = 12t + 8(86-t)
