A. x = 950x
B. y = 950x
C. x = 9.50x
D. y = 9.50x

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. y = 9.50x.

Answer 2

Option D is correct

`y = 9.50x`

Explanation:

Here, y represents total earnings in dollars and x represents hours worked.

As per the statement:

To find which equation models the wages of someone who makes $9.50 an hour.

`\text{` translated to 9.50x

then;

the total earning in dollars we get;

`y = 9.50x`

Therefore, an equation
`y = 9.50x` models the wages of someone who makes $9.50 an hour
