Answer:
Eric's father work 5 hours each afternoon
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the no. of hours Eric's father work each afternoon
He works for hours in morning each day = 3
He works for total hours in morning in 5 days=[tex]3 \times 5 = 15[/tex]
He works for total hours in afternoon in 5 days=5x
We are given that he works a total of 40 hours each 5-day workweek.

15+5x=40
5x=25
x=5
Hence Eric's father work 5 hours each afternoon
