You charge $2 plus .50 per child for every hour you babysit. You earn $3.50 an hour when you watch the Crandell children. How many children are in this family?

Make an equation to represent this. .50x+2=3.50. Subtract 2 from both sides to get .50x=1.50. Multiply each side by 2 to get x=3. There were 3 children in the family. Hope this helps! ;)
