Answer:

Option A. Equation: 9(5+x)=99 and

Option C. Equation : 6 hours.

Explanation:

Matt charges $9 per hour to babysit.

He babysat Friday night for 5 hours and then he babysat again on Saturday.

His total earning s $99.00

Let Matt babysat x hours on Saturday

So total hours Matt did baby sitting = ( x + 5 ) [ Friday + Saturday ]

and total earning = 9 [ x + 5 ]

Equation to get the value of x hours will be 9 [x + 5 ] = 99.

We further solve this equation 9x + 45 = 99

= 9x = 99 - 45

= 9x = 54

= x = 6 hours.

Therefore, Option A. Equation: 9(5+x)=99 and Option C. Equation: 6 hours
