The expression 8x +12y represents the sum of Harry and Mike's total monthly wages, where x represents the number

of hours Harry worked and y represents the number of hours Mike worked. What is another way to write the
expression, and what can you conclude from rewriting it in this way?
8(x +1.5y); Harry's hourly wage is 1.5 times Mike's.
8(x +1.5y); Mike's hourly wage is 1.5 times Harry's.
12(x+y)Harry's hourly wage is 8 times Mike's.
8(x+4y); Mike's hourly wage is 4 times Harry's.​
