Question

Jada earns $7 per hour mowing her neighbors’ lawns. Andre gets paid $9 plus 4 per hour.

What system of equations represents this situation?

Answer 1

Jada's amount: 7h = m

Andre's amount: 4h + 9 = m

h = hours

m = money (total cost)

The system of equations that represents the situation is yx = y.

Explanation:

The system is yx = y, since the amount of dollars per hour multiplied by the amount of hours, plus any amount (if needed) will equal the total amount of money that Jada and/or Andre receives.

Hope this helps! :D
