Answer:

a) 12b

b) 10h+5

Explanation:

a) 12b means $12 x "b" unknown amount of books

b) 10h+5 means $10 x unknown amount of hours babysitting plus $5 gas which is a set cost no matter how many hours babysitting

I don't know if you need to put the $ in your answer or not, based on the directions i would say not.
