Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of hours A

y = number of hours B

x + y = 23

5.7x + 7.1y = 143.7

from the first equation we get

x = 23 - y

this we use in the second

5.7×(23 - y) + 7.1y = 143.7

131.1 - 5.7y + 7.1y = 143.7

1.4y = 12.6

y = 12.6/1.4 = 9

x = 23 - y = 23 - 9 = 14

she worked 14 hours on job A and 9 hours on job B.
