Question

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Our required equation would be
`6=(c)/(2)+1`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount that Anderson earns per hour = $6

According to question, Anderson earns $1 more than half of Carey's hourly rate.

Let the hourly rate of Carey be 'c'.

So, it becomes,

`6=(c)/(2)+1`

And the value of c would be

`6=(c)/(2)+1\\\\6-1=(c)/(2)\\\\5=(c)/(2)\\\\c=\$10`

Hence, our required equation would be
`6=(c)/(2)+1`
