Answer:

The total earnings of Carey in t tours is 12 t - 2 .

Explanation:

For each hour he babysits, Anderson earns $1 more than half of Carey's hourly rate. Anderson earns $6 per hour. Which equation can be used to solve for Carey's hourly rate, c? 18 + ?T = 24 What number should be the coefficient of t?

Anderson earns $1 more than half of Carey's hourly rate.

Anderson hourly rate = $ 6

Let Carey's hourly rate is p. Let the time is t hours.

So, Anderson rate is


6 t = (p t)/(2) +1\\\\2* 6 t = p t + 2 \\\\p t = 12 t - 2
