    Answer: He work at A for 35 hours

    He work at B for 22 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number of hours be A and B

    He works a total of 57 hr per week at his two jobs

    A + B = 57 ... (1)

    He makes $7 per hour at job A and $8 per hour at job B and the total pay for one week is $421

    7A + 8B = 421 ... (2)

    Solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously

    7A + 7B = 399

    7A + 8B = 421

    B = 22 hours

    Substitute B in equation 1

    A + 22 = 57

    A = 35 hours
