Answer:

3. y = 8x

Explanation:

y = 8x

earnings (y)=$8Ă—number of hours (x)

8 dollars is her hourly wage and that multiplied by the number of hours she works will give you her total earnings.

Hope this helps! :)

3, y = 8x, is the correct answer. Y represents her total earnings, which is equal to the number of hours she works when multiplied by 8.
