Question

Sylvie needs $110 for a concert ticket. She already has $16 and she can earn the rest by working 10 hours at her job. If h represents her hourly earnings, which of the following equations can be solved to find Sylvie’s hourly earnings? Select all that apply.

A. 110 – 16 = 10h
B. 110 = 16h + 10
C. 16 = 110 – h
D. 110 = 16 + 10h
E. 110 + 16 = 10h

Answer 1

A and D

Explanation:

110 = 16 + 10h

Isolate the variable by subtracting 16 from both sides

110 - 16 = 10h

94 = 10h

Divide it by 10 to get the amount for 1 h

9.4 = h

Then plug that in to each equation to check to see which ones are true.
