Eva spent 2 hours tutoring and 6 hours clearing tables.

Let x represent the number of hours Eva worked tutoring and y represent the number of hours Eva worked clearing tables.

Eva worked 3 times as many hours clearing tables as she worked hours tutoring hours and earned a total of $80. Hence:

y = 3x

-3x + y = 0    (1)

16x + 8y = 80    (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 2, y = 6
