Answer:

y = 12x + 50

Explanation:

Given,

The fixed amount of monthly allowance = $ 50,

Also, the earning per hour = $ 12,

If she works x hours in a month,

Then her total earning in x hours = 12x,

Also, total earning for a month ( say y ) = earning for x hours + fixed allowance

⇒ y = 12x + 50

Which is the required linear equation.
