    Step-by-step explanation:

    So our equation would be:

    12.00x + 8.50y = 324.50

    x + y = 32 hours

    lets set the last one to x = 32 - y and plug it in.

    12 (32-y) + 8.5y = 324.5

    384 - 12y + 8.5y = 324.5

    subtract 384 from both sides and add y to each other:

    -3.5y = - 59.5

    Divide by - 3.5

    y = 17 hours worked
