Answer:

2 laborers and 33 ops

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

L = Laborers

P = Ops

From the statements, we have:

[tex]L + P = 35[/tex] -- total people hired; and

[tex]140P + 100L = 4820[/tex] ---number of hirees

Required

Solve for L and P

Make L the subject in: [tex]L + P = 35[/tex]

[tex]L = 35 - P[/tex]

Substitute [tex]L = 35 - P[/tex] in [tex]140P + 100L = 4820[/tex]

[tex]140P + 100(35 - P) = 4820[/tex]

[tex]140P + 3500 - 100P = 4820[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]140P - 100P = 4820 - 3500[/tex]

[tex]40P = 1320[/tex]

Solve for P

[tex]P = 1320/40[/tex]

[tex]P = 33[/tex]

Substitute [tex]P = 33[/tex] in [tex]L = 35 - P[/tex]

[tex]L = 35 - 33[/tex]

[tex]L = 2[/tex]
