y = 23x + 800

x being the number of hours worked you would multiply that with 23 which is what she makes per hour and then add the $800 signing bonus

Answer:

y = 23x + 800

Explanation:

Becky accepted a job as an inventory manager with a offer of $800 signing bonus.

She makes $23 per hour, in addition to the bonus.

If her total pay is y and the works x hours.

then her total pay will be = per hour earning + bonus offered.

y = 23x + 800

equation y = 23x + 800 models Becky's total pay.
