    What did you try?

    Assign different variables for the amount of hours spent on work.

    Let the amount of hours working after school be x.
    Let the amount of hours working on Saturdays by y.

    The total number of hours is given by x + y = 18

    The total money earned by 4x + 6y = 88

    Work this out and post what you get.
