Question

ron started a new job which paid him $60 for the first day of training. after the first day, he will be paid $7 per hour. what is the linear equation that models ron's pay? responses y

Answer 1

y = 7x + 60

Explanation:

Ron gets paid 7 dollars an hour, this is our constant, since we don't know how many hours he works per day, it can be represented as "x":

7x

He starts his job receiving 60 dollars for his first day:

7x + 60

Of course this needs the outcome "y":

[y = 7x + 60]
