  1. Answer:

    12 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number of hours Lily works each week be x.

    This implies that of Olivia’s is

    x+4.

    We were also told that for every two weeks, Olivia works a total of 32 hours.

    This implies that

    2(x+4)=32

    We divide through by 2

    \implies \frac{2(x + 4)}{2} = \frac{32}{2}⟹

    2

    2(x+4)

    =

    2

    32

    \implies x+ 4 = 16⟹x+4=16

    We subtract 4 from both sides

    \implies x+ 4- 4= 16 – 4⟹x+4−4=16−4

    \implies x=12⟹x=12

    Hence Lily works 12 hours each week
