Question

Tim earns $31 after 2 hours, $46.5 after three hours, and $62 after four hours. Write an equation that represents the amount of money Tim makes.​

Answer 1

y = $15.5x

Explanation:

Given that

Tim earns $31 after 2 hours

$46.5 earns after 3 hours,

And, $62 earns after four hours

So first determine the each hour earnings i.e.

= $31 ÷ 2

= $15.5

In two hours it would be $31 and so on

So here the equation would be

y = $15.5x

Here

y = money amount

x = number of hours
